Abstract

There is an agreement in the international community about the importance of promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, not only to motivate students to learn, but also to prepare them to the real-world challenges (Stohlmann, 2018). However, the literature refers to skills shortages in STEM fields and that mathematics contributes to the problem of insufficient STEM graduates (Beswick & Fraser, 2019). Therefore, it is crucial to find approaches to face these issues, namely by highlight the role of Mathematics (Stohlmann, 2018).
