Abstract
English – The present study deals with the construction of personas considering complex social identities. The context is a requirements analysis for the participatory development of makerspaces for 10-16 year old girls with migration background. With their hands-on approach, makerspaces offer a low threshold access to STEM subjects, especially for children and teenagers. However, these offers do not reach girls with migration background sufficiently yet. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with girls aged 10-14 years to gather data of the target group. Using a multiple step process considering complex social identities, we identified four identity structures. Personas were designed based on these identity structures. The process of persona creation is depicted exemplarily and further use of the personas in the context of “STEM education/makerspaces” is discussed.
Deutsch – Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit der Erstellung von Personas unter Berücksichtigung komplexer sozialer Identitäten im Rahmen einer Anforderungsanalyse für die partizipative Entwicklung von Makerspaces für Mädchen mit Migrationshintergund im Alter von 10-16 Jahren. Makerspaces bieten insbesondere Kindern und Jugendlichen eine anschauliche Zugangsmöglichkeit zu MINT-Themen. Jedoch erreichen diese Angebote Mädchen mit Migrationshintergrund bisher nur ungenügend. Mittels teilstrukturierter Interviews mit zehn Mädchen im Alter von 10-14 Jahren wurden Daten über die Zielgruppe erfasst und in einem mehrstufigen Prozess unter Berücksichtigung komplexer sozialer Identitäten vier Identitätsstrukturen identifiziert. Auf dieser Basis wurden vier Personas entwickelt. Der Prozess der Personaerstellung wird beispielhaft dargestellt und die weitere Verwendung der Personas im Kontext „MINT-Bildung/Makerspaces“ diskutiert.
