Abstract

Digital Learning Objects (DLOs) have multifaceted potential and, in particular, can contribute positively to learning outcomes in STEM education. In this study, 17 pre-service teachers developed digital learning sequences by combining DLOs. The aim of this paper is to identify ways in which DLOs can be combined within digital learning sequences to teach STEM topics, like Climate Change. The data was analyzed through the perspective of the attributes of the digital tools according to the phases of the inquiry model. The results of the data analysis highlighted the increased potential offered by the DLOs and the variety in the ways they can be used in order to develop digital learning sequences.
