In this paper, we explain how mathematics teaching with STEM undergraduate students has evolved over the past three years; it has moved from blending to fully distance learning during the pandemic. We were interested in how students reacted to changing environments from a cognitive point of view. Data were collected and analyzed with mixed methods. Then they were summarized through engagement, participation, and motivation, which described students’ status, calculated through a fuzzy cognitive map. The results and experiences highlighted the positive and negative aspects of using technology in mathematics teaching. As a methodological implication of this research, we propose a teaching method that integrates moments of distance teaching with activities carried out in the presence. A mix of styles, a fluid flow of knowledge between the physical classroom and the virtual classroom. We call this Integrated Digital Learning.

Abstract
In this paper, we explain how mathematics teaching with STEM undergraduate students has evolved over the past three years; it has moved from blending to fully distance learning during the pandemic. We were interested in how students reacted to changing environments from a cognitive point of view. Data were collected and analyzed with mixed methods. Then they were summarized through engagement, participation, and motivation, which described students’ status, calculated through a fuzzy cognitive map. The results and experiences highlighted the positive and negative aspects of using technology in mathematics teaching. As a methodological implication of this research, we propose a teaching method that integrates moments of distance teaching with activities carried out in the presence. A mix of styles, a fluid flow of knowledge between the physical classroom and the virtual classroom. We call this Integrated Digital Learning.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
