Abstract

In the last decade, increased attention has been paid to the integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. It is important for a modern mathematics teacher in elementary and high school to understand the role of mathematics as an academic discipline in the development of STEM education. Practical, meaningful and varied learning strategies can help develop high-level thinking and 21st century skills in teaching and learning mathematics. Research towards integrating STEM is in its infancy. So far, there is no clear understanding of the role of individual subjects in integrated STEM. While it is widely accepted that mathematics is at the core of all other STEM disciplines, there is evidence that it plays an underestimated role in integrated STEM education. The article, based on contemporary publications, examines the role of mathematics in interdisciplinary STEM education, including a synthesis and analysis of research conducted over the past ten years; discusses the integration of STEM subjects with an emphasis on mathematics (integrated STEM); About the productive models of integrated STEM that are emerging as STEM education in general and mathematics education in particular can better prepare people for the challenges of the twenty-first century.
