Abstract:
To foster STEM education and the application of interdisciplinary approaches and research methods in teaching, well-chosen thematic units can serve as an effective foundation. This paper aims to present an interdisciplinary lesson unit, integrated with research methods, titled "Little Cartographers".
The unit establishes a multidisciplinary framework connecting the following academic disciplines: Mathematics, Bulgarian Language, Informatics, Computer Modelling, Art, History, and Geography. It features a series of student tasks designed around project-based and research-oriented learning approaches.
The applied tasks, which lead students to derive scientific findings, form the basis for building core scientific competencies and developing scientific literacy. This methodology represents a strategic fit for promoting active learning. It engages various hierarchical levels of Bloom's Taxonomy and creates a supportive intellectual and emotional environment conducive to cultivating research skills in the school setting.
