Competencies, curricula and interdisciplinarity: an analysis of a curriculum development process in mathematics and science education

Tomas Højgaard, Jan Sølberg

Abstract

Teachers in science and mathematics education face many challenges as
curricula around the world turn towards STEM education as a way of
ensuring that students acquire competencies that transcend traditional
subjects. However, implementing competency-oriented teaching has proved
challenging. KOMPIS was a project that aimed at developing ways of dealing
with some of these challenges. In this paper, we present a two-dimensional
model derived from KOMPIS that has been demonstratively useful in
supporting competence-based curriculum development and teacher planning.
