Four questions were included in the survey to gauge pre-service teachers' opinions on the impact of technology-supported interdisciplinary integration on critical thinking and creativity. Research was undertaken to gather information from the relevant literature while formulating the questions. Due to the pandemic, the technology-supported interdisciplinary science and mathematics integration course was delivered via remote education. This research was carried out throughout the academic year 2020-2021. The data collection method was used as an online form for the participants. The online technology-supported interdisciplinary course application was completed during 25 hours of instruction.
