ABSTRACT

The teaching of STEAM has been gaining ground in the world of education for some years now. This article presents two fundamental contributions to STEAM literature. The first contribution is the detailed description of a STEAM work experience with secondary school students using Project Based Learning, in which the disciplines of science and art are connected and integrated. To achieve this, connections established among the disciplines corresponding to S, T, E, A and M are analysed. The second contribution presented in this paper is the study of the relationships established between the members of the educational community and the external educational agents (artists, researchers and research centres) involved in the project. These relationships among all the educational agents give rise to important connections relevant to STEAM education. Additionally, an increase in performance and interest in science and technology manifested by the students is analysed in a quantitative way. The students perceive an improvement in certain skills, such as teamwork, creativity, communication and self-evaluation.

摘要

几年来，STEAM 教学在教育界取得了进展。本文介绍了对 STEAM 文献的两个基本贡献。第一个贡献是详细描述了中学生使用基于项目的学习的 STEAM 工作经验，其中科学和艺术学科相互联系和整合。为了实现这一点，分析了与 S、T、E、A 和 M 对应的学科之间建立的联系。本文提出的第二个贡献是研究教育界成员与参与该项目的外部教育代理（艺术家、研究人员和研究中心）之间建立的关系。所有教育代理之间的这些关系产生了与 STEAM 教育相关的重要联系。此外，还以定量的方式分析了学生表现出的对科学和技术的表现和兴趣的提高。学生感觉到某些技能的提高，例如团队合作、创造力、沟通和自我评估。
