TIC și abordarea STEAM în predarea matematicii: inovație și eficiență în educația matematică

Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) approach in the teaching of mathematics represents a significant change in modern education, providing students with new and innovative opportunities to learn and apply theoretical concepts in a practical and interdisciplinary way. The article explores the impact of these educational technologies and methods on the learning process, emphasizing the use of interactive platforms to understand abstract concepts and provide instant feedback to students. In the STEAM approach, mathematics is integrated into interdisciplinary projects that allow students to apply mathematical concepts in fields such as natural sciences, technology, engineering and the arts, promoting creativity and collaboration. Educational projects carried out as part of "Green Week" and "Other School", such as "Mathematics, seismology and STEAM education, the strategic alliance in combating climate change" and "Earthquake hunting", demonstrate the applicability of mathematics in the analysis of seismic data and understanding the impact of climate change. The article highlights the results of these projects and their impact on students, who gained a better understanding of mathematics and developed essential skills for the future. By integrating ICT and STEAM in education, not only more effective and interactive learning is ensured, but also the formation of critical, analytical and creative thinking, necessary to face the current global challenges.
