Abstract

In a STEM teaching module, the identification of concepts that have both a common identity and different structure in various disciplines is crucial. In this paper, are presented concepts/ artifacts/ methods that prospective teachers recognize as boundary objects, as well as their characteristics in an integrated STEM module on Nanoscience – Nanotechnology developed as part of the ERASMUS+ project “IDENTITIES”. Twelve prospective teachers from four different countries (Greece, Italy, France and Spain) with a background in Science, Mathematics and Computer Science participated in the research, attending in a week-long summer school concerning interdisciplinary STEM approach.
