A result of the digitalization of the working world is a change of competence profiles

graduates need to enter the workplace. Consequently, relevant digital technologies

should be integrated into the classroom providing opportunities for students to gain

digital experiences. To facilitate teachers’ acceptance of such instructional

innovations, digital tools can be used as learning context instead of learning content.

Following a design-based research approach, we developed a prototypical math unit

using 3D print as learning context. Results of an evaluation with 101 German students

in grade 5 to 7 indicate that the teaching unit has a significant effect on behavioural

and cognitive components of students’ 3D print-related self-concept and that the

learning context of 3D print does not distract students from learning mathematics.
