Computational thinking (CT) has been regarded as an essential skill set that students should acquire from their early years of life. As a thinking practice applicable to problem-solving processes, it has been argued that CT can be demonstrated and incorporated into other disciplines. While most studies have focused on CT integration with science,…

This research aimed to determine preschool teachers' views, the current situation, and schools regarding STEM education. A case study, which is a qualitative research approach, was used for this research. The study group was determined by the purposeful sampling method. The research study group comprises 10 preschool teachers with STEM education…

This study explores Saudi teachers' beliefs about STEAM education in early childhood education settings. The study sample consisted of 245 teachers working in kindergartens. The participants completed a survey comprising twelve items to elaborate teachers' beliefs toward implementing STEAM practices in their classrooms, as well as four close-ended…

To enhance teacher proficiency, this study explores the possible effects of integrating STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) principles into the early childhood special education (ECSE) curriculum. The present study centers on science literacy's function in enhancing educators' competencies working with young children. A…

This study discussed the effects of the Early STEAM Education Program on the visual-spatial reasoning skills of children. A pre-test post-test experimental design was used. The study group consisted of 54 students who attended a state kindergarten in Gaziantep in Turkey. The effectiveness of the Early STEAM Education Program was tested by…

The Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) approach has a variety of benefits for all children as it triggers multiple senses through hands-on activities, experiential learning, exploration opportunities on different scientific topics, and various tools and materials. Five STEAM activities were designed and implemented with…

The STEM acronym (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) has evolved into STEAM, to reflect the increasingly held view that art and creativity are essential components of math/science teaching and learning. Sadly, too few students are choosing to take computer science classes. When presented as a technical science, many students,…

How interdisciplinary music education should be provided constitutes the problem situation of this study. In the MEB system, where art (music and painting) and sports classes are not as important as academic subjects (Turkish, Mathematics, etc.) or are left behind, it is imperative to determine how music classes can be conducted interdisciplinary.…

This mixed-methods study explored the impact of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) lessons on elementary students' STEAM knowledge, identities, and attitudes toward STEAM education. The study was conducted at an independent school in South Florida, United States, which employs arts integration pedagogy to serve at-risk…

Engaging pre-service teachers in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) challenges offers active learning experiences that promote an understanding of the significance of STEAM in early childhood education. By integrating community, cultural, and personal assets, STEAM becomes a versatile approach with endless opportunities for…

Background: Despite the recent emphasis on technology and engineering in early childhood education, the importance of teaching relevant concepts in early education has been underappreciated in South Korea. This study examined the feasibility and efficacy of a science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) program integrated into…

In early childhood education, the integration of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) are advocated as contemporary educational goals. However, integration of STEAM is not defined in the early childhood context. We claim to 'integrate' and 'devise integration pedagogies', but there is still no clear-cut message on what…

The project described in this article took place in fall 2019 and lasted for seven months in a preschool classroom consisting of a master teacher, teacher and assistants, and 21 children (ages 3-5) within a university-based early childhood education center that serves children from birth through six years old. The teachers began the inquiry,…

The early childhood field is increasingly beginning to recognize the importance of integrating science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematical concepts into preschool classrooms. Despite this recognition, preschool teachers often face challenges integrating these subjects due to insufficient knowledge, training, and resources. This…

The purposes of the studies were: (1) to study the effects of the 6E learning model on grade 3 students' learning achievement in science with the determining criteria of 70; (2) to compare students' scientific creativity before and after implementing the 6E learning model; and (3) to evaluate grade 3 students' creative abilities after implementing…
