Abstract

Earlier, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics were considered separate subjects, compartmentalised with their own methods and approaches to teaching. Later, in the 1990s, these interrelated subjects were put together to form STEM education. Researchers have understood the importance of problem-solving and inquiry skills for innovation in the field of STEM, that art is integrated into STEM education. This chapter explores various pedagogical approaches that enhance the integration of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) in modern education. By examining innovative teaching methods, this chapter aims to provide educators with practical strategies and insights to foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in students. The chapter will cover project-based learning, problem-based learning, inquiry-based learning, design thinking, collaborative learning, argumentation practice, and multiple intelligences, with a focus on real-world applications and equity in education.
