In recent years, the "maker education" approach has gained prominence as an innovative and stimulating method to promote teaching and learning. This special issue of our international journal aims to explore the various dimensions and implications of this ever-evolving approach. Building on a solid research background, the aim of this edition is to deepen our understanding of how maker education is shaping educational landscapes around the world.
This special issue seeks to analyze the meaning of maker education in the contemporary educational context, examining how it influences the way students engage with knowledge, develop practical skills and cultivate creativity.
