10、paragraph more than once. Each paragraph ismarked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2.Make Stuff, Fail, And Learn While Youre At ItA. Weve always been a hands-on, do-it-yourself kind of nation. Ben Franklin, one ofAmericas founding fathers, didnt
11、just invent the lightning rod. His creations include glasses,innovative stoves and more.B. Franklin, who was largely self-taught, may have been a genius, but he wasnt really anexception when it comes to American making and creativity.C. The personal computing revolution and philosophy of disruptive
12、innovation of SiliconValley grew, in part, out of the creations of the Homebrew Computer Club, Which was founded ina garage in Menlo Park, California, in the mid-1970s. Members including guys named Jobs andWozniak started making and inventing things they couldnt buy.D. So its no surprise that the Ma
13、ker Movement today is thriving in communities and someschools across America. Making is available to ordinary people who arent tied to big companies,big defense labs or research universities. The maker philosophy echoes old ideas advocated byJohn Dewey, Montessori, and even ancient Greek philosopher
14、s, as we pointed out recently.E. These maker spaces are often outside of classrooms, and are serving an importanteducational function. The Maker Movement is rediscovering learning by doing, which is Deweysphrase from 100 years ago. We are rediscovering Dewey and Montessori and a lot of the practices
15、that they pioneered that have been forgotten or at least put aside. A maker space is a place whichcan be in a school, but it doesnt look like a classroom. It can be in a library. It can be out in thecommunity. It has tools and materials. Its a place where you get to make things based on yourinterest
16、 and on what youre learning to do.F. Ideas about learning by doing have struggled to become mainstream educationally, despitebeing old concepts from Dewey and Montessori, Plato and Aristotle, and in the American Contcxt,Ralph Emerson, on the value of experience and self-reliance. Its not necessarily
17、 an efficient wayto learn. We learn, in a sense, by trial and error. Learning from experience is something that takestime and patience. Its very individualized. If your goal is to have standardized approaches tolearning, where everybody learns the same thing at the same time in the same way, then le
18、arningby doing doesnt really fit that mold anymore. Its not the world of textbooks. Its not the world oftesting.G. Learning by doing may not be efficient, but it is effective. Project-based learning hasgrown in popularity with teachers and administrators. However, project-based learning is notmaking
19、. Although there is a connection, there is also a distinction. The difference lies in whetherthe project is in a sense defined and developed by the student or whether its assigned by a teacher.Well all get the kids to build a small boat. We are all going to learn about X, Y, and Z. That tendsto be o
20、ne form of project-based learning.H. I really believe the core idea of making is to have an idea within your head or you justborrow it from someone and begin to develop it , repeat it and improve it. Then, realize that2 idea somehow. That thing that you make is valuable to you and you can share it w
21、ith others. Iminterested in how these things are expressions of that person, their ideas, and their interactionswith the world.I. In some ways, a lot of forms of making in school trivialize（使变得无足轻重）making. Thething that you make has no value to you. Once you are done demonstrating whatever concept w
22、asin the textbook, you throw away the pipe cleaners, the cardboard tubes.J. Making should be student-directed and student-led, otherwise its boring. It doesnt havethe motivation of the student. Im not saying that students should not learn concepts or not learnskills. They do. But to really harness t
23、heir motivation is to build upon their interest. Its to let thembe in control and to drive the car.K. Teachers should aim to build a supportive, creative environment for students to do thiswork. A very social environment, where they are learning from each other. When they have aproblem, it isnt the
24、teacher necessarily coming in to solve it. They are responsible for workingthrough that problem. It might be they have to talk to other students in the class to help get ananswer.L. The teachers role is more of a coach or observer. Sometimes, to people, it sounds like thisis a diminished rote for te
25、achers. I think its a heightened role. Youre ereating this environment,like a maker space. You have 20 kids doing different things. You are watching them and really itsthe human behaviors youre looking at . Are they engaged? A they developing and repeating theirproject? Are they stumbling (受挫)？ Do t
26、hey need something that they dont have? Can you helpthem be aware of where they are?M. My belief is that the goal of making is not to get every kid to be hands-on, but it enable usto be good learners. Its not the knowledge that is valuable, Its the practice of learning new thingsand understanding ho
27、w things work. These are processes that you are developing so that you areable, over time, to tackle more interesting problems, more challenging problemsproblems thatrequire many people instead of one person, and many skills instead of one.N. If teachers keep it form-free and student-led, it can sti
28、ll be tied to a curriculum and aneducational plan. I think a maker space is more like a like a library in that there are multiplesubjects and multiple things that you can learn. What seems to be missing in school is how thesesubjects integrate, how they fit together in any meaningful way. Rather tha
29、n saying, This isscience, over here is history, I see schools taking this idea of projects and looking at: How do theysupport children in higher level learning?O. I feel like this is a shift away form a subject matter-based curriculum to a moreexperiential curriculum or learning. Its still in its ea
30、rly stages, but I think its shifting around notwhat kids learn but how they learn.336.A maker space is where people make things according to their personal interests.7.The teachers role is enhanced in a maker space as they have to monitor and facilitateduring the process.38.Coming up with an idea of
31、 ones own or improving one from others is key to the conceptof making.3449.Contrary to structured learning, learning by doing is highly individualized.0.America is a nation known for the idea of making things by oneself.1.Making will be boring unless students are able to take charge.3 44442.Making c
32、an be related to a project, but it is created and carried out by students themselves.3.The author suggests incorporating the idea of a maker space into a school curriculum.4.The maker concept is a modern version of some ancient philosophical ideas.5.Making is not taken seriously in school when stude
