Abstract
Mathematics is a gateway to many scientific and technological fields. Almost every STEM advance and project is expressed in the language of mathematics. Educationally, mathematical development is central. Given the connections, it is reasonable to claim that curricula and pedagogical approaches should fully integrate all aspects of STEM and other domains. For this reason, it is important for teaching and learning to create interdisciplinary approaches that emphasize connections between the various domains while maintaining their own conceptual, procedural, and (epistemological) knowledge bases for each of these domains. To interconnect disciplinary knowledge, guaranteeing balance in curricular learning, it is desirable to promote integrated digital teaching practice. The paper is part of the debate about the possibilities of enhancing the role of mathematics in STEM education through interdisciplinary approaches. The research questions refer to the type of digital tools and their use to support interdisciplinary approaches in the teaching and learning of technology-related disciplines such as mathematics and physics. This paper describes an interdisciplinary teaching practice format between mathematics and physics using digital tools as relevant mediators of meaning through the diverse representation that can be generated.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
