From Interdisciplinary to Transdisciplinary: An Arts-Integrated Approach to STEAM Education
Liao, Christine
Art Education, v69 n6 p44-49 2016
What should science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) education look like? In the context of educational policy, the STEAM conversation has intensified and spread across the United States and some other counties (Eger, 2015; Yakman & Lee, 2012). This article advocates an arts-integrated approach to STEAM education and discusses the potential of this approach for opening up a transdisciplinary space. This space will therefore be capable of fostering an "innovated" society. Here, the author suggests that teachers can create a transdisciplinary space in their own STEAM lessons by designing assignments that engage with multiple disciplines and thereby nourish students' ability in transferring learning in multiple disciplines.
