POSSIBILITIES AND LIMITATIONS FOR AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH OF MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

Abstract

Mathematics has been pointed out as a fundamental discipline in the formation of the students as well as in the acquisition of the necessary competences for the individuals of the society of the XXI century. On the other hand, the social context together with the current educational paradigm is tending towards an integral vision of knowledge, which is materialized in interdisciplinarity as a way of studying a phenomenon of reality.

We analyze the possibilities and difficulties that the current educational situation poses to transfer this interdisciplinary vision to the classroom. We make a historical review of examples of interrelation of Mathematics with other disciplines and provide suggestions for an implementation of the Mathematics curriculum with an interdisciplinary point of view.
