ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the key elements of invention projects presented in the introduction and explored in the chapters of this book are revisited and further discussed as the four cornerstones of invention pedagogy. The cornerstones—inclusive innovator mindset, multifaceted real-world phenomena, co-creation of knowledge and artifacts, and technology-enriched tools and materials—are seen as essential for students’ knowledge-creating learning, for the facilitation of such learning, and for the development of an inventive school culture. The continuous development of all these levels of invention pedagogy is supported by research–practice partnerships in national and international contexts.
