“…As the study of teaching and learning has developed, information has become more dense, subjects have developed along different lines, those disparate subjects have evolved their own language and concepts and word definitions once shared by the larger field have become more specific to nuances in individual and specialized disciplines and are therefore far removed from everyday use and understanding (Kwok et al , 2020; Rugh et al , 2018). This evolution of various subjects within the same field dramatically increases the cognitive load for those who are new to the discipline.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine a week-long science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) project-based learning (PBL) activity that integrates a new educational technology and the engineering design process to teach middle and high school students the concepts involved in rotational physics. The technology and teaching method described in this paper can be applied to a wide variety of STEM content areas. Design/methodology/approach As an educational technology, the dynamic and interactive mathematical expressions (DIME) map system automatically generates an interactive, connected concept map of mathematically based concepts extracted from a portable document format textbook chapter. Over five days, students used DIME maps to engage in meaningful self-guided learning within the engineering design process and STEM PBL. Findings Using DIME maps within a STEM PBL activity, students explored the physics behind spinning objects, proposed multiple creative designs and built a variety of spinners to meet specified criteria and constraints. Practical implications STEM teachers can use DIME maps and STEM PBL to support their students in making connections between what they learn in the classroom and real-world scenarios. Social implications For any classroom with computers, tablets or phones and an internet connection, DIME maps are an accessible educational technology that provides an alternative representation of knowledge for learners who are underserved by traditional methods of instruction. Originality/value For STEM teachers and education researchers, the activity described in this paper uses advances in technology (DIME maps and slow-motion video capture on cell phones) and pedagogy (STEM PBL and the engineering design process) to enable students to engage in meaningful learning.

La Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas STEM por sus siglas en ingles se utiliza para describir el estudio de cuatro de las grandes áreas del conocimiento científico, el STEM es una iniciativa que nace alrededor de los años 90, y fue creada por la agencia gubernamental de los estados unidos conocida como National Science Foundation NFC la cual se dedica a los avances en investigación y educación en todos los campos (no dedicados a la medicina), relacionados con la ciencia e ingeniería. La educación STEM es una estrategia que abarca las diferentes disciplinas de la investigación científica relacionada con las áreas del conocimiento declaradas por la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico OCDE y enfoca sus esfuerzos en preparar a los profesionales del mañana, los cuales se encargaran de aportar la transferencia de conocimiento necesaria para los campos de acción futuros que se posicionan dentro de la llamada industria 4.0. El estudio de esta técnica o metodología se centra en la investigación de diferentes estrategias implementadas para llevar a cabo el aprendizaje efectivo de los alumnos en temas específicos de las ciencias y la ingeniería, como también en mostrar los campos de acción que cuentan con la inserción del STEM dentro de su currículo como herramienta metodológica a la hora de educar a los aprendices en temas relacionados con las Aplicaciones móviles, Arduino, Aeronáutica, Biotecnología, Ingeniería de Software, ingeniería de control, líneas de transmisión, robótica entre otras, demostrando cuan beneficioso ha sido para el reclutamiento de nuevos estudiantes en campos de carreras profesionales científicas y la adquisición de competencias y habilidades específicas de los estudiantes
