Research On Furniture Design Of Maker Space In Primary And Secondary Schools

In order to accelerate the construction of an innovative country and implement the cultivation of innovative talents,maker education has come into being.At present,maker education is being widely implemented in basic education,but the construction of maker spaces and furniture in primary and secondary schools is not sufficiently matched with the usage needs,and there is still a lack of relevant research on the design of school space furniture.Based on the current situation of the use of maker spaces and furniture in primary and secondary schools,this study can obtain feedback from users,analyze the current role of furniture in school maker education and its real use status,and help to propose strategies for building furniture and spaces under the use scenario.To a certain extent,this study can enrich the theory of school furniture design at the basic education level and has some reference value for the practice of optimizing the design and configuration of furniture for maker spaces in primary and secondary schools.This study has used literature research,research analysis,interdisciplinary research and other methods to focus on "users-objects-environments-activities" elements.By investigating the design and use of primary and secondary school maker spaces and furniture,the study has considered the user as the center,established the connection between furniture,space and behavior.This research is aimed at guiding the design of furniture for maker spaces in primary and secondary schools,and exploring methods to optimize the design of school furniture that can better meet the needs of maker education use.The core contents and main results of the study are as follows:(1)Through the literature research,the author sorted out the implementation of maker education,maker courses and maker Spaces in primary and secondary schools,summarized the categories and main teaching processes of maker courses,and summarized the organizational forms and main functions of the space.Based on the characteristics of functional area layout,the maker space types are classified into two types: special type and public type.(2)By conducting market research on school furniture brands,this study analyzed the market profile of school furniture in China and summarized the current design status of the furniture of primary and secondary school maker spaces with simple functions,insufficient category segmentation and serious homogenization.(3)Established a system of elements of the use scenarios of maker spaces in primary and secondary schools.Through research on maker spaces in ten representative schools,the current layout of each functional area of the space,equipment and facilities and furniture configuration and user characteristics were summarized.Through classroom behavior research,dynamic analysis,and structured observation,the use needs and use pain points of space furniture were summarized.Finally,the explicit needs of practical and comfortable,safe to use,adaptable to the curriculum,and easy to manage were summarized.(4)The evaluation study of users’ needs for space and furniture was conducted from the perspectives of students and teachers,respectively.Established the evaluation system of furniture needs in primary and secondary schools.Based on AHP-fuzzy,the importance and satisfaction of each demand index was analyzed.Combined with the quarter diagram model,the advantages and shortcomings of the current creative space and furniture are summarized,and the demand situation of the improvement area,opportunity area and advantage area is obtained,and the design principles are extracted,which provides the basis for the extraction and transformation of the subsequent design elements.(5)Corresponding to the use demand,the functional analysis method is introduced to transform the furniture design requirements into design reference elements.Based on the design principles and design elements,the design optimization process is proposed and design practice is carried out,the rationality of the design scheme and the feasibility of the design optimization path are verified through design evaluation.
