Abstract
STEAM education is an instructional approach that fosters student engagement, inquiry, and critical thinking. This study aimed to assess the attitudes of elementary school teachers toward STEAM education, exploring potential differences based on gender, location, caste, teaching experience, and age. The study employed a descriptive survey method, with elementary school teachers from the Paschim Bardhaman District of West Bengal serving as the population. A sample of 95 teachers was selected through simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted using a Likert-type attitude scale developed by the researchers. The results indicated no significant differences in teachers' attitudes toward STEAM education based on gender, location, caste, age, and teaching experience. Additionally, the study highlighted various perceived merits and challenges associated with STEAM education from the perspective of elementary school teachers.
