Digital skills, art and craft, embodied- and material-based learning, maker movement, democracyAbstract
In todays digitalized society, there is a significant change in material preconditions of learning, from specific and analog to digital and virtual learning environments. Parallel to the massive digital investment in the Nordic education systems, a global movement called the “maker movement” has emerged. Through a study of curricula, learning theories, own practice, practical examples and the growing “maker movement”, this article examines how this movement can contribute to a broader and more multi-faceted approach to digital competence in Arts and Crafts. We question whether the education system and the education policy to a greater extent should rely on research basedknowledge on the body and the material role in children’s learning when developing arts and craft as a subject in primary school education.
