Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Integrated STEAM education has emerged globally in consonance with the need to promote a more active learning process with disciplinary collaboration, capable of enhancing competency development and literacy in line with the problems of today's world.
Thus, international policies and theoretical models for integrated STEAM education have emerged, giving rise to a number of publications on various implementations of STEAM proposals. However, the analysis of the results is often relegated or superficially addressed, and there is a gap in the literature on the study of educational impact.
In order to continue rigorously exploiting its potential, the purpose of this Special Issue is to enliven this discussion from any point of view within formal education (on the competency, conceptual, attitudinal, emotional, etc., development of students, in relation to teacher training, or by using various theoretical models, disciplinary approaches, active methodologies, in inclusive environments, etc.). A corpus of pioneering studies will be compiled to describe a current international overview of the effectiveness of this approach, including both strengths and possible improvements.
Manuscripts focusing on (but not limited to) the following topics are welcome:
- Implementation of STEAM proposals at all educational stages (early childhood, primary, secondary, or university education) with rigorous analysis of their impact.
- Position or theoretical nature articles discussing issues related to the impact of integrated STEAM education.
- Reviews or meta-analyses that identify and analyze information related to the impact of integrated STEAM education.
