Implantação de fablabs e makerspaces: inovando a educação 4.0 em ambientes não-formais

Abstract

The dissertation explores the essential connection between FabLabs, Education 4.0 and Makerspaces, which is revolutionizing teaching in non-formal spaces. The importance of technology in Education 4.0 and its impact on teaching is highlighted, highlighting the need to train teachers for current educational challenges. A concrete implementation model of the Profissão 4.0 Program is presented, integrating the creation of maker spaces, such as FabLabs, in the education network or public spaces, considering regional peculiarities. This research delves into the effectiveness of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) approaches and active methodologies in the fourth industrial revolution, highlighting how Makerspaces, as extensions of FabLabs, can become an epicenter of innovation. The crucial role of the innovation ecosystem in the design and operation of these spaces is emphasized, providing suggestions for relevant content. Throughout the dissertation, it is illustrated how technology is closely linked to Education 4.0 and Makerspaces also known as makerspaces, offering students the opportunity to create, experiment, collaborate and develop 21st century skills. The pressing need for adequate training for teachers to use technologies effectively in their pedagogical practice is also highlighted. Finally, the dissertation significantly contributes to a model for implementing FabLabs and Makerspaces in the education network or non-formal public spaces, adapted to the particularities of each region, focusing on promoting innovation and developing students' technological and creative skills. , all this in the challenging context of the fourth industrial revolution.
