Teaching Mathematics in the career of Clinical and Industrial Microbiology during the COVID-19 pandemic: technology tools and education with the focus: Science, Technology, Society (STS)

Abstract

A qualitative, exploratory, and reflective research on the teaching of mathematics during the COVID-19 pandemic based on the use of different technological tools with the Science, Technology, Society (STS) approach is presented. The advantages and disadvantages of different tools, such as web platforms, videoconferencing applications and graphic tablets, are analyzed for problem solving during synchronous virtual classes. On the other hand, teaching mathematics from the STS approach allows contextualizing the disciplinary contents in relation to topics of sociology and history of science analyzing, for example, the development of a disease.
