Abstract

This paper provides a reflection on the designing and enacting of an inclusive curriculum for a diverse group of students using a maker-centred learning approach, where students are empowered to have greater autonomy in the decision-making process and given accessibility to prototyping tools in their learning process for an undergraduate general elective course. Based on the student feedback, the finding suggests that students’ interest in learning was fostered when they were given greater autonomy in their learning. We recommend giving students more autonomy in choosing their project focus and exercising greater flexibility during the enactment of the curriculum, where students’ voices and decisions are considered.
