Keywords:
STEAM education, primary school, interdisciplinary learning, creativity, critical thinking, active learning, 21st-century skills.Abstract
This article explores the growing significance of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach in primary education. The integration of STEAM into the early stages of learning equips students with critical 21st-century skills such as creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation. The study investigates how STEAM-based teaching strategies impact cognitive development, student motivation, and interdisciplinary thinking. Through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and analysis of student projects, the research emphasizes the effectiveness of STEAM in creating a dynamic, hands-on, and inquiry-driven learning environment for young learners.
