The consortium of the European project DIYLab — Do It Yourself in Education: Expanding Digital Competence to Foster Student Agency and Collaborative Learning will host a symposium dedicated to exploring:
- DIY, or Do It Yourself, as a philosophy that puts the students at the centre of the learning experience, by turning them into the maker of their own learning process and materials.
- The potential of this approach for students to develop their agency, collaboration and digital skills, using the technologies they already have access, to make them lifelong and life-wide learners.
This event comes at the end of the above-mentioned project and aims to generate an international forum for debate and discussion.
The symposium
This symposium seeks to explore the emergence of a culture of collaboration, connected to youth learning environments, technology and DIY. Young people’s efforts to create and disseminate digital media have been associated with the growing do-it-yourself (DIY) movement. Starting in the ’90s with arts, crafts, and new technologies, it is now prevalent in curriculum contents, giving educators and students the opportunity to create, share and learn in collaboration.
The organizers are interested in how DIY in particular promotes authorship and communities, given the amount of time youth voluntarily spend in intense learning, as they tackle highly technical practices. This new perspective demands a new media landscape to include, in different educational settings, the production of new media linked to the demands of the digital era.
The symposium aims to problematize and interrogate our understanding of the possibilities and limits of introducing DIY philosophy in primary and secondary education, as well as universities. At the University of Barcelona, it is linked to the sponsored innovative teaching project, “DIYUni: DIY (do it yourself together) at the university. Technological and pedagogical implications to foster independent learning and formative assessment” (2014PID-UB / 075) (extended in 2015-16).
We specifically seek contributions that address the following issues:
- Implementing DIY philosophy institutional settings (schools and universities).
- Teachers’ initial and in-service professional development to support DIY agency and collaborative learning.
- Processes and results of DIY-based teaching and learning projects.
- DIY learning inside and outside educational institutions.
- DIY digital objects as ways of reflecting and sharing learning processes.
- Evaluation of DIY-based learning processes and results.
