Samenvatting

In this contribution we use a socio-material approach to zoom into these two educational environments. We analyse the impact of the teacher on the environment and consequently the forms of teaching/learning making that happen within these places. Teachers consciously or unconsciously shape the affordances of the learning space in such a way that it can foster or counteract the learners dialogue with materials and tools. We compile the findings of our two individual PhD researches (Curious Hands for Educational Labs and Curious Hands in Educational Workshops), which are part of the NWO-funded research project Curious Hands. Moving Making to the Core of Education, to reveal a continuum of the impact of the educator on the learning environments and its influence on teaching/learning making. In the following we first zoom into our socio-material approach, before analysing the introduced learning environments.
