Abstract:

<p> The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between exposure to the arts and performance in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) subjects. STEAM, an integration of arts-based instruction into science and math related fields, is viewed as an alternative to traditional STEM academies. The literature briefly examines the current state of STEM programs and the deficiencies in graduate quality and quantity and the call from employers for a more innovative workforce. Advocates for STEAM argue for arts as a means to improve creativity, collaboration, risk-taking and expl

Abstract:

<p> A case study was conducted of an elementary STEAM laboratory program in a midwest Missouri school district, which was unique to the area, and involved risk-taking by the school officials. The delivery model for instruction in the program was inquiry-based learning with a STEAM focus. The planning of the program involved the community, as well as district personnel. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of the program at the end of the first year to determine if the goals of the planning committee had been met and if the perceptions of the stakeholders were in favor of the d

Abstract:

<p> Although research is limited on the effectiveness of co-teaching as a service delivery model for students with disabilities, through observation, many educators have reported positive outcomes with co-teaching (Beninghof, 2011). This case study was designed to examine the implementation of co-teaching in an elementary magnet school in a Midwestern school district driven by science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) and with a strong emphasis on personalized learning. General education teachers, special education teachers, and administrators were interviewed three times

Abstract:

This thesis proposes a framework for learning and teaching through an interdisciplinary STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) network. The framework was developed from teaching experience, interviews with STEAM institutions and practitioners, and practice-led research in the field. The thesis recommends adopting practices seen in STEAM initiatives in North America to rapidly developing Australian experiences, approaches, attitudes and motivations for STEAM education, and advocates the implementation of open studio art educational models to help shape new pedagogical exper

Abstract:

Within the educational community, there is a growing shift towards the development of essential skills, emphasizing process-skills over mastery of content. This shift is mirrored in the rapid changes in workplace-related technology, outpacing the creativity and flexibility of current graduates.
