ABSTRACT
This paper reports on the process of creating teaching aids for traditional Korean architecture education using 3D printing technologies. By providing a practical example of educators self-fabricating teaching aids with digital fabrication technology, it aims to address the implications of 3D printing in education, particularly in generating innovative teaching resources. In this research, 3D printed teaching aids were intended to be utilized in the museum education program for children aged 9 to 12 years old in South Korea. Prior to the making process, the current use of the technology in educational contexts was examined and limitations were identified through literature reviews. The researchers created digital models and 3D printed teaching aids, and the findings were documented in both textual and pictorial forms. Thus, the documentation would be able to serve as a guideline for other educators to refer to when designing and self-fabricating teaching aids with 3D printers. When used in the classroom, the 3D printed teaching aids provided opportunities to enhance students’ understanding of architectural concepts and structures through various hands-on activities. Also, the combination of the digitally fabricated teaching aids with other conventional teaching manipulatives fostered student engagement and motivation to learn in the classroom.
