Sažetak
The importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in education cannot be over-emphasised. But the importance of this does not diminish the unattractiveness and disinterest of students in STEM subjects. On the other hand, the importance of cultural heritage preservation as one of the sustainable development goals becomes a powerful ally in eliminating the STEM subjects' negative connotations. The living heritage, the mother tongue, is a tool for the transmission of values and information, and it is frequently employed in the preservation and transmission of intangible cultural heritage. By making cross-curricular interdisciplinary connections, STEM subjects become more likable and interesting. Applying immersive technologies with a change in teaching strategies and methods that rely on the specialized sets of terms and expressions makes learning the subjects easier and improves retention. It also increases the interest of the students, makes the learning process more enjoyable and provides them with a better understanding of the subjects. The aim of this paper is to highlight the value and importance of using immersive technologies, such as augmented reality, as a powerful tool for the presentation of the living intangible cultural heritage of the Republic of Croatia as an integral component of digital storytelling in teaching STEM subjects. The paper is based on research whose main objective was to examine the positive impacts this interdisciplinary approach has on preserving intangible cultural heritage and promoting students’ engagement and creativity, as well as identify potential challenges for the application of this methodology to selected STEM subjects.
