“…On the contrary, the didactic proposal of Altan and Tan (2020) [50], based on STEM education, was centered on product creativity. A decision that has an explanation in the nature of the STEM [61] disciplines. Accordingly, Ferreira-Gauchía et al (2012) [62] highlighted the orientation of technology toward proper functional operation of the technological elements that were created in a continuous way.…”

STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is an educational approach that is now accompanied by the STEAM (STEM + Arts) variant. Both educational approaches seek to renew the scientific literacy of younger generations, and, with the inclusion of the arts, student creativity is described as a key skill that must receive special attention. A review is therefore presented here of empirical STEM and STEAM-based educational interventions so as to determine their potential to develop student creativity. A systematic search of papers over one decade, 2010–2020, found 14 didactic interventions on the Web of Science and Scopus databases for analysis within the review process. The analysis suggested that: (1) the interventions based both on STEM and STEAM have multiple and even contradictory forms, both in theory and in practice; (2) there appears to be a preference among researchers for the Likert-type test to evaluate creativity; and (3) both educational approaches show evidence of positive effects on student creativity. In the light of the principal findings, it was concluded that arguing for the implementation of STEAM education over STEM education, with a view to developing or promoting student creativity, is not in agreement with the evidence from the empirical studies.

“…Integrated STEM education refers to an integrated approach of the disciplines that form its acronym (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). It has opened an alternative route both for the teaching and the learning of those disciplines [24][25][26][27], pursuing the integration and the cohesive development of scientific and technical material within an interdisciplinary framework [28,29]. This is done so that central scientific ideas may be explored with experimental components [30], through a more or less extensive integration of the knowledge that arises from the disciplines that form its acronym [29].…”

An analysis is presented in this study that provides insight into a practical training process and its impact on teachers and their viewpoints toward the integrated STEM approach used in that training process, together with educational coding and robotics, over the first years of compulsory primary education, where STEM implementations are relatively new. A case study was developed by two teachers following the practical training course, including pre- and post-interviews and nonparticipative observation of their classroom practices during the teacher-training sessions. The results revealed the positive perspectives that the teachers held toward the STEM-integrated approach and educational coding and robotics, despite the difficulties that arose in classroom practice. It was concluded that the STEM approach and its methods were beneficial both to pupils and to teachers alike for improving the teaching–learning process.

“…(Takeuchi, et al, 2020). The prevailing scientific view in many STEM education GreeninG STeM approach of today is poorly reflective of the complex relationship between science and socio-cultural values (Ortiz-Revilla et al, 2020) From the brief discussion of issues elucidated above, it is obvious that matters concerning social responsibility predominates other concerns in STEM education. Within the scientific community, the concept of social responsibility came in vogue after the European Union gave the concept a necessary boost.…”

Cambodia uses a 'discouragement' strategy to manage teachers' engagement in supplying private tutoring (PT). However, previous studies have criticised teachers' professional misconduct in terms of promoting tutoring classes to ensure supplementary income. Currently, examination reforms alongside economic growth propose a new understanding of professional misconduct. Based on descriptive data from 93 students and in-depth interviews with 24 informants, who were tutees and their parents, tutors and school administrators respectively, this study found uncaring pedagogies to be a primary motivator for tutoring demand. This tended to have an association with the inadequate instructional time given to core examination subjects and implementation of the learner-based approach. Additionally, the examination reform brought positive changes in the teacher's behaviour. Although this study's findings are largely aligned with previous studies, it still sheds light on new perspectives regarding teachers' professional misconduct in Cambodia.
