abstract:
The aim of this paper is to analyse a symmetry and art workshop from a STEAM
perspective. The theoretical framework of the Meta-Didactical Transposition is taken
as a reference. The sample consists of seven Primary School teachers. A qualitative
methodology is followed that is developed in four phases: learning, planning,
implementation and reflection. The results show that the teachers are not flexible in
dealing with the different conceptions of symmetry and the creative aspect of the
workshop. In general, there is a positive attitude towards the interdisciplinary
character of the workshop, despite the fact that they were not able to connect both
disciplines in a balanced way.
