“…In addition, research demonstrates that graduates involved in Makerspaces were recruited quicker than others (MIT Project Manus, 2019). At the same time, literature reveals that there are still many challenges in managing these spaces in terms of participation (Betser et al , 2016), making MIHE accessible and sustainable to be used by a wider audience (Bouwma-Gearhart et al , 2021) and the necessity of developing laws and internal mechanisms (Dong et al , 2022).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to chart the development of Makerspaces in higher education (MIHE), by building a map of existing research work in the field. Based on a corpus of 183 manuscripts, published between January 2014 and April 2021, it sets out to describe the range of topics covered under the umbrella of MIHE and provide a holistic view of the field. Design/methodology/approach The approach adopted in this research includes development of the 2014–2021 MIHE corpus; literature overview and initial coding scheme development; refinement of the initial coding scheme with the help of a focus group and construction of the MIHE map version 1.0; refinement of the MIHE map version 1.0 following a systematic approach of content analysis and development of the MIHE map version 2.0; evaluation of the proposed structure and inclusiveness of all categories in the MIHE map version 2.0 using card-sorting technique; and, finally, development of the MIHE map version 3.0. Findings The research trends in the categories of the MIHE map are discussed, as well as possible future directions in the field. Originality/value This paper provides a holistic view of the field of MIHE guiding both junior MIHE researchers to place themselves in the field, and policymakers and decision-makers who attempt to evaluate the current and future scholar activity in the field. Finally, it caters for more experienced researchers to focus on certain underinvestigated domains.
