Đề xuất quy trình dạy học môn Toán theo định hướng giáo dục STEM với sự hỗ trợ của phần mềm Scratch: trường hợp dạy học chủ đề “Các hình khối trong thực tiễn” (Toán 7)

Tóm tắt

In the context of implementing the 2018 General Education Program and promoting digital transformation in education, organizing mathematics teaching using a STEM approach combined with the use of technological tools is receiving much attention. For the topic “Geometric Shapes in Real Life” (Mathematics 7), many students struggle to visualize and describe spatial geometric objects due to the abstract nature of the content. This study proposes a STEM-oriented teaching process for the topic “Geometric Shapes in Real Life” (Mathematics 7) with the support of Scratch software. The process is illustrated through the STEM topic “Designing a Fish Tank” under “Geometric Shapes in Real Life” (Mathematics 7). The results show that Scratch has the potential to support the visualization of geometric objects, simulate real-world situations, assist in calculations, and facilitate students' application of mathematical, technological, and engineering knowledge in problem-solving. This article contributes to providing a theoretical and practical basis for organizing STEM-oriented mathematics teaching in secondary schools in the context of current digital transformation.
