Promoting interdisciplinarity in primary school in the framework of science education

Abstract

The promotion of interdisciplinarity has been gaining prominence all around the world to better prepare students for the real-life challenges of an increasingly demanding society. This study aims to investigate how to promote interdisciplinarity in primary school in the framework of science education. With a qualitative methodology and an interpretative approach, participants are primary school teachers who participated in a collaborative continuing professional development program. Findings of our research show that teachers gained the skills to design and implement interdisciplinary tasks adequate to primary school syllabus.

Methodological system for the formation of meta-subject skills of primary school students in the context of STEM education

“…Current research demonstrates a concentration on STEM education within the education system, highlighting the utilization of interdisciplinary and applied approaches through the integration of sciences (Breiner et al, 2012;Costa and Domingos, 2018;Matos et al, 2019;Leung, 2020;Yesnazar, 2022). Furthermore, development of metasubject skills among primary school is enabled through interdisciplinary integration, scientific creative work, and integrated projects.…”
