本课程名称为《动手基础：电路》。该课程旨在为教育工作者和爱好者提供一个发展动手实践和创造的机会。动手被视为一种严肃的尝试，它可广泛应用于各个学科，尤其适用于将学科交织在一起，从而促成复杂项目和个性化学习的机会。最近，动手实践被引入教育领域，作为促进科学学习中创造力、兴奋感和创新的一种潜在驱动因素，被许多人视为有效的探索STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）概念、实践和现象的方法。动手实践通常将高科技和低科技工具与强烈的美学维度相结合，支持儿童和成人的自我表达。 在过去十多年中，探索博物馆（Exploratorium）为儿童和成人开发了丰富的科学动手活动。动手被视为一种有趣而严肃的尝试，跨越多个学科和内容领域，促进艺术、科学与技术之间的连接。学习者通过调查工具和材料以及探索自己感兴趣的问题，发现自己的理解路径。这种方法可以打开一系列可能的答案，而不是单一的“正确”答案，尤其适合在课堂上教授STEM科目。本课程围绕与电路相关的活动，提供了丰富的思考和动手制作的机会。 在本课程中，我们不仅会展示如何开发动手活动，还将深入探讨为何要这样做。我们将重点关注三个重要方面：针对特定材料的活动设计、促进策略和环境组织。我们还将分享一些指导原则和学习指标，帮助您将动手实践整合到小学和中学的科学课程中。无论您是制作新手还是经验丰富的动手者，我们希望本课程能够帮助您迈出下一步！ 本课程采用实践工作坊的形式，而非传统的讲座。参与是必不可少的！我们希望每个人都能一起动手、尝试、提问、分享想法，并作为一个社区共同反思。这是一个与来自世界各地、不同背景的人一起动手学习的绝佳机会，所以请不要害羞！ 请注意：尽管本课程不会有活跃的讲师参与，但我们已努力创造一个鼓励探索的支持性空间。我们将提供几种入门的方法，鼓励您分享作为学习者、设计者和促进者的观察和经验，并希望能激发有趣的对话和发现。虽然不是强制性要求，但我们鼓励您与朋友或同事一起参加这门课程，或与您所在地区的其他人一起活动：有支持或与他人一起进行活动将增强您的体验，并帮助您保持参与感。 课程所需材料包括几种工具和材料，用于每周的课程活动。预打包的材料可以从探索博物馆商店购买。请尽快获取所有材料，并提前做好准备，以确保在课程中需要时能及时使用。在某些情况下，某些项目可能需要组装。请参考资源部分以查看本课程的活动指南。 课程大纲包括多个模块，主要内容如下： 1. 动手介绍：探讨动手的定义和不同形式。 2. 初步探索：通过基础电路活动建立电气组件之间的物理和概念联系。 3. 学习维度：通过“涂鸦机器”探索不规则运动和艺术创作。 4. 动手原则与个人表达：深入了解我们的纸电路和缝制电路活动的美学维度。 5. 编程、计算和促进策略：探讨动手实践的高科技方面及促进深度参与的策略。 6. 整合所学：制定详细的行动计划，并获取其他学员的反馈，完成个人项目和同伴评估。 通过本课程，您将能够更好地将动手实践应用于您的生活和教学中。
Name:Introduction to Tinkering
Description:What is tinkering? What does it mean to you? Is it different from engineering or other forms of making? We'll explore these questions in the readings and forums while getting a sneak preview of the activities we'll be sharing over the following modules.
Name:Initial Explorations
Description:Tinkering is all about making, so let's get started. In this module we begin with a basic circuit board activity, which helps learners make physical and conceptual connections between electrical components. You will learn how to build your own set to play with and why we designed it this way.
Name:Learning Dimensions
Description:In this module, we'll explore erratic motion and art-making with an activity called Scribbling Machines. We'll also investigate how tinkering maps on to different indicators of learning.
Name:Tinkering Tenets and Personal Expression
Description:We'll explore the aesthetic dimensions of tinkering with a full rundown of our Paper Circuits and Sewn Circuits activities, including key design elements and important principles.
Name:Coding, Computation and Facilitation Strategies
Description:A look at the high-tech side of tinkering. In this module, we'll also explore strategies for facilitation and deep engagement.
Name:Putting It All Together
Description:It's your turn! How will you take what you've learned in this class and apply it to your own life and practice? We'll help you come up with a detailed action plan and get feedback from other students in the class. By the end of this module you'll complete your project, your peer assessments and review other people's work.
The Tinkering Fundamentals course will offer educators and enthusiasts an opportunity to develop a practice of tinkering and making. We see tinkering as a serious endeavor—one that is generalizable across content and especially good at interweaving disciplines in a way that leads to complex projects and individualized learning opportunities. Tinkering has recently been introduced into the educational field as a potential driver of creativity, excitement, and innovation in science learning. It is seen by many as an effective means to engage in exploring STEM concepts, practices and phenomena. Tinkering typically blends the high and low tech tools of science along with a strong aesthetic dimension that supports children’s (and adults) self expression. For over a decade, the Exploratorium has been developing science-rich tinkering activities for both children and adults. We see tinkering as a fun yet serious endeavor—spanning many disciplines and content areas and fostering connections between art, science, and technology. Learners follow their own path to understanding by investigating tools and materials and exploring questions that interest them. This opens up a wide range of possible answers rather than any “right” one, particularly for teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) subjects in the classroom. This course centers on circuit-related activities, which offer a wealth of opportunities for thinking through making. In this course, we won’t just show you how we develop tinkering activities; we’ll also delve into why. We’ll focus on three important aspects: activity design around specific materials, facilitation strategies, and environmental organization. We’ll also share some guiding principles and learning indicators we’ve developed that can help you integrate tinkering into your elementary and middle-school science program. Whether you’re new to making or a seasoned tinkerer, we hope this course will help you take the next step! OUR APPROACH TO TEACHING This is a hands-on workshop, not a lecture-based class. Participation is essential! We want everyone to be making and tinkering together: trying things out, asking questions, sharing ideas, and reflecting together as a community. This is a wonderful chance to tinker and learn alongside people from all over the world and from all walks of life, so don’t be shy! PLEASE NOTE: Although this course will not have active instructor participation, we have put a great deal of effort towards creating a supportive space that encourages exploration. We’ll give you a few ways to get started; prompt you to share your own observations and experience as learners, designers and facilitators; and hopefully spark interesting conversations and discoveries along the way. While it’s not a requirement, we encourage you to take this class with a friend or colleague or meet with other people in your area: having support or doing activities with others will enhance your experience and help you stay engaged. REQUIRED COURSE MATERIALS You will need several tools and materials to do weekly course activities. Pre-bundled materials are available from the Exploratorium store at www.artoftinkering.com. Please obtain all materials as soon as possible, well in advance of when you will need them in the course. Be sure to allow extra time for shipping and, if you are outside the U.S., for customs. In some cases, certain items may require assembly. Please refer to the Resources section to review this course’s activity guides.
