Abstract

Makerspace was constructed to assist the public in creating new business, industry and market opportunities by combining their creative ideas with technology. So far, in Korea, a total of 58 makerspaces have been constructed and are running currently. Makerspaces are equipped with a variety of high-tech devices such as 3D printing technology and a laser cutter as means for transforming ideas into their prototypes. In this study, we examined users' experiences in makerspaces using online questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. We then presented motivations for using makerspace, interest in using it, concerns about using technologies, and other issues related to using makerspaces. Based on the results, we proposed three suggestions to improve users' experiences in makerspaces. These suggestions include: (1) supporting teaching and learning practices in makerspaces, (2) providing professional development opportunities for instructors in makerspaces, and (3) promoting innovative services that accommodate diverse users' needs.

무한상상실은 국민의 창의적인 아이디어가 과학기술과 결합하여 창업과 신산업 및 신시장 창출로 연결되고, 일자리를 창출하기 위해 건립되었다. 국민의 상상력과 창의력을 현실화시킬 수 있는 공간 조성이 필요하다는 인식하에 현재까지 58개소가 설치 운영중이며 지속적으로 확대되는 추세에 있다. 3D 프린터와 레이저 커터기 등 다양한 첨단기기들이 비치되어 아이디어를 프로토타입으로 제작하기 위한 시설을 갖추고 있다. 본 연구에서는 온라인 설문 조사와 면대면 인터뷰를 통해 무한상상실에서 이용자의 경험을 조사했다. 그 후, 우리는 무한상상실에서 이용자들이 아이디어를 생성하기 위한 동기 부여, 흥미에 대해 무한상상실을 사용하여 관련 기술뿐만 아니라 문제에 대한 해결방안을 제시했다. 결과를 기반으로 무한상상실의 효율적인 운영 방안에 대한 세 가지 제언을 할 수 있었다. 첫째, 무한상상실을 이용자들을 위한 교수학습 지원을 확대해야 한다. 둘째, 무한상상실 교수자를 위한 별도의 전문적인 교육 프로그램 개발이 필요하다. 셋째, 이용자들의 특성에 맞춘 편의를 제공하는 창의적인 서비스 도입을 추진해야 한다.
