Abstract: “Making” has its origin in the maker movement, emphasizes novel, innovative creations by adopting applicable technologies, and fosters students’ creativity or encourages them to engage in creative thinking in school-based making activities, in which teachers act as a facilitator for the implementation of creative pedagogy. This study constructed a hypothesized model based on the theory of planned behavior and incorporated pedagogical beliefs, personal innovativeness, peer influence, and facilitating conditions to predict teachers’ perceptions regarding the perceived implementation of creative pedagogy in making activities. Questionnaires were obtained from 68 Chinese teachers with maker instruction experience and were tested against the proposed model by partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings reveal that teachers’ attitudes and subjective norms had positive impacts on their intentions to implement creative pedagogy. Pedagogical beliefs and personal innovativeness showed a significant impact on their attitudes, while peer influence exerted a significant influence on subjective norms.
