Identify the paragraph from whichthe information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph ismarked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.Make Stuff, Fail, And Learn While Youre At ItA) Weve always been a hands-on, do-it-yourself kind of nation. Ben Franklin, one of Americasfounding fathers, didnt just invent the lightning rod. His creations include glasses, innovativestoves and more.B) Franklin, who was largely self-taught, may have been a genius, but he wasnt really anexception when it comes to American making and creativity.C) The personal computing revolution and philosophy of disruptive innovation of Silicon Valleygrew, in part, out of the creations of the Homebrew Computer Club, Which was founded in agarage in Menlo Park, California, in the mid-1970s. Members including guys named Jobs andWozniak started making and inventing things they couldnt buy. D) So its no surprise that the Maker Movement today is thriving in communities and someschools across America. Making is available to ordinary people who arent tied to big companies,big defense labs or research universities. The maker philosophy echoes old ideas advocated byJohn Dewey, Montessori, and even ancient Greek philosophers, as we pointed out recently.E) These maker spaces are often outside of classrooms, and are serving an important educationalfunction. The Maker Movement is rediscovering learning by doing, which is Deweys phrase from100 years ago. We are rediscovering Dewey and Montessori and a lot of the practices that theypioneered that have been forgotten or at least put aside. A maker space is a place which can be in aschool, but it doesnt look like a classroom. It can be in a library. It can be out in the community.It has tools and materials. Its a place where you get to make things based on your interest and onwhat youre learning to do.F) Ideas about learning by doing have struggled to become mainstream educationally, despitebeing old concepts from Dewey and Montessori, Plato and Aristotle, and in the American Context,Ralph Emerson, on the value of experience and self-reliance. Its not necessarily an efficient wayto learn. We learn, in a sense, by trial and error. Learning from experience is something that takestime and patience. Its very individualized. If your goal is to have standardized approaches tolearning, where everybody learns the same thing at the same time in the same way, then learningby doing doesnt really fit that mold anymore. Its not the world of textbooks. Its not the world oftesting.G）Learning by doing may not be efficient, but it is effective. Project-based learning has grown inpopularity with teachers and administrators. However, project-based learning is not making.Although there is a connection, there is also a distinction. The difference lies in whether theproject is in a sense defined and developed by the student or whether its assigned by a teacher.Well all get the kids to build a small boat. We are all going to learn about X, Y, and Z. That tendsto be one form of project-based learning.H）I really believe the core idea of making is to have an idea within your head or you justborrow it from someone and begin to develop it , repeat it and improve it. Then, realize thatidea somehow. That thing that you make is valuable to you and you can share it with others. Iminterested in how these things are expressions of that person, their ideas, and their interactionswith the world.I）In some ways, a lot of forms of making in school trivialize（使变得无足轻重）making. Thething that you make has no value to you. Once you are done demonstrating whatever concept wasin the textbook, you throw away the pipe cleaners, the cardboard tubes.J）Making should be student-directed and student-led, otherwise its boring. It doesnt have themotivation of the student. Im not saying that students should not learn concepts or not learn skills.They do. But to really harness their motivation is to build upon their interest. Its to let them be incontrol and to drive the car. K）Teachers should aim to build a supportive, creative environment for students to do this work. Avery social environment, where they are learning from each other. When they have a problem, itisnt the teacher necessarily coming in to solve it. They are responsible for working through thatproblem. It might be they have to talk to other students in the class to help get an answer.L) The teachers role is more of a coach or observer. Sometimes, to people, it sounds like this is adiminished rote for teachers. I think its a heightened role. Youre creating this environment, like amaker space. You have 20 kids doing different things. You are watching them and really its thehuman behaviors youre looking at. Are they engaged? A they developing and repeating theirproject? Are they stumbling (受挫)？ Do they need something that they dont have? Can youhelp them be aware of where they are?M)My belief is that the goal of making is not to get every kid to be hands-on, but it enable us to begood learners. Its not the knowledge that is valuable, Its the practice of learning new things andunderstanding how things work. These are processes that you are developing so that you are able,over time, to tackle more interesting problems, more challenging problemsproblems that requiremany people instead of one person, and many skills instead of one.N) If teachers keep it form-free and student-led, it can still be tied to a curriculum and aneducational plan. I think a maker space is more like a like a library in that there are multiplesubjects and multiple things that you can learn. What seems to be missing in school is how thesesubjects integrate, how they fit together in any meaningful way. Rather than saying, This isscience, over here is history, I see schools taking this idea of projects and looking at: How dothey support children in higher level learning?O) I feel like this is a shift away form a subject matter-based curriculum to a more experientialcurriculum or learning. Its still in its early stages, but I think its shifting around not what kidslearn but how they learn.36.A maker space is where people make things according to their personal interests.37.The teachers role is enhanced in a maker space as they have to monitor and facilitate duringthe process.38.Coming up with an idea of ones own or improving one from others is key to the concept ofmaking.34
