The maker education is one of the remarkable trends in contemporary education. Besides promoting its pedagogical material and approaches, how parenting styles may have influence on schoolchildren’s learning and performance of the maker literacy is also well worth exploring, particularly for primary students who are still under the palliative care, guidance, and mentoring from their parents and family. Based upon it, this research employs various survey techniques aiming to investigate the individual difference among schoolchildren in maker literacy learning under different background variables, as well as under different parenting styles perceived by the children and the child-rearing styles self-evaluated by the parents. The outcome shows that the background variables exert low impact upon the maker literacy. It also demonstrates that the maker literacy is quite accessible and feasible for anyone who is interested to learn, and easy to achieve. From the aspect of the parenting style, the perceived authoritative (with both high responsiveness and demandingness) and the indulgent (with high responsiveness/low demandingness) are far more effective than the neglectful (with both low responsiveness and demandingness) and the authoritarian (with low responsiveness/high demandingness). Moreover, what is perceived by the children noticeably outweighs what is self-evaluated by the parents. It reveals that it is children’s psychological acceptance of parents’ childrearing strategy that matters indeed. Only through their spontaneous recognition can the maker literacy learning be effectively enhanced. |
