چکیده (انگلیسی):

Today more than ever, educational institutions need educational leaders who are
able to promote profound, substantive and sustainable change. This paper is based
on the efforts and results of the first stage of a European project implemented in
universities and primary and secondary schools in Spain, Finland and the Czech
Republic. The project seeks to explore the changes (and its educational effects) that
have occurred in the last decade regarding digital competencies, especially in
relation to the emergence of a culture of collaboration that connects youth learning,
technology and a Do-it-Yourself (DIY) ethos. To achieve the project's objective, we
followed a methodology based on the principles of collaborative action research
(CAR). We have analysed the curricula and study plans of the participating
institutions in order to explore how and where the project could be applied. We
conducted a series of focus groups with teachers, students and parents to discuss
notions of DIY learning among the educational communities. Based on these
discussions, we began to analyse how each context envisions DIY learning and how
it relates to the notion of virtual space. We finished the first stage with the
professional development of the teachers, which was aimed at shaping the DIYLabs
implementation plan.
