To the University of Granada for the funding of the bridging grant-contract awarded to David Aguilera to complete his post-doctoral training. Further, to the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities for funding project PGC2018-095765-B-I00 (PROFESTEM) and to the Scientific Unit for Excellence in Teacher Training and Professional Development. The emergence of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) in research and the practice of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education is today an unquestionable fact at international level. Despite the importance attached to STEM education, there is a lack of synthesized approaches to teaching the interdisciplinarity of STEM. This lack of synthesis can hinder a strong theoretical foundation for STEM education and possible new contributions. The purpose of this position paper is to contribute a theoretical framework for STEM education that enables the unification of criteria regarding disciplinary integration and associated teaching methods. The authors discuss disciplinary integration in STEM activities, the implication of STEM literacy, educational stage, and teaching method, and provide suggestions for future research. 2021-05-31T11:31:40Z 2021-05-31T11:31:40Z 2021-03-11 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Aguilera, D.; Lupiáñez, J.L.; Vílchez-González, J.M.; Perales-Palacios, F.J.
