Abstract

This article presents a didactic proposal which allows technology to be used as the main subject for interdisciplinary work on the curricular contents in the scientific-technological and mathematical fields. This didactic proposal is based on the project-based learning (PBL) methodology and collaborative work. These methodologies are an ideal framework to integrate these disciplines of the scientific-technological and mathematical fields. At the same time, they provide a learning process to students that allows them to develop multiple competences, such as teamwork, decision making, initiative, etc. The proposal is designed for students in the third year of compulsory secondary education and some of the basic competences of the scientific-technological and mathematical fields will be worked on. In turn, the student will be able to elaborate a series of projects that can be related to subjects of the same academic level or predecessor levels and thus reinforce the general concepts worked on during the academic education in the school and the year in question. Some of these projects also aim to raise awareness among students about the use and benefits of renewable energies, recycling or reuse of materials in the construction of their projects.

Keywords: Interdisciplinary, technology, collaborative, curriculum, PBL, secondary school.
