DIY culture in primary school. Transdisciplinar and collaborative learning shared in DIYLabHub

What is it about?

This paper accounts for the DIYLab European project and its implementation in a Spa-nish primary school. The project was developed in primary, secondary and higher education institutions in Spain, Finland and the Czech Republic. The focus was to incorporate, in the organizations involved, learning modalities related to Do it Yourself (DIY) culture. Following a methodology based on the principles of the collaborative action-research, we planned discussion groups with families, teachers and students. In addition, we defined its implementation star-ting from the characteristics of each institution and the professional development of teachers. During this action, it was decided that students collaboratively performed an audio-visual production about their learning and the processes that had propitiated it. It was also decided in which research-based project DIYLab would be implemented, to develop features of DIY culture such as creativity, collaboration, self-regulation, authorship, sharing and use of technologies. Simultaneously, the open platform DIYLabHub was also provided so that students’ audiovisual productions could be shared. Throughout this implementation, researchers made observations, recordings and took field notes. From these sources, we focused the results and conclusions on audio-visual productions that primary school students from Spain created collaboratively and shared in the Hub, as well as on the strengths and weaknesses regarding pedagogical relations, digital competences and sustainability of the project
