САЖЕТАК /ABSTRACT:

This paper presents combined experiences and efforts in Chemistry and Mathematics education based on STEM approach and using computer technologies in teaching. Analytical chemistry, particularly colorimetry and spectrophotometry, demands a strong instructional method for students to gain real insight and understanding of these concepts and methods. The main idea of this paper was to use diverse representations, such as animations and simulations, to improve students` proficiency in applying their knowledge. Dynamic mathematical software GeoGebra and principles of STEM education were applied to create interactive simulations and animations of the Lambert-Beer law. The implementation of GeoGebra interactive materials into the teaching and learning process and activities is described, and the impact of the digital learning environment and STEM education principles is discussed.
