At Laboratory for STEM Education and Learning (LSUL), we are developing a tool for the development of courses of study in STEM, in which mathematics forms an integral part. The work is the preliminary result of a study consisting of a review of 4812 articles to identify STEM learning activities and of in-depth analyses of 37 articles with the focus being on the roles that mathematics is to play in integrated STEM activities.

The rest of the article can be read in Danish.
