“…Moreover, the addition of art to STEM is reinforced due to follow-on studies indicating the importance of art in helping learners develop their capability for innovation as various forms of technologies and mediums are used (Catchen, 2013;Conradty & Bogner, 2018;Liao et al, 2016;Yuktirat et al, 2018). Bazler and Sickle (2017) have also commented that adding art to STEM increases student systematic thinking skills, creativity development, and student motivation enhancement. Furthermore, it is widely recognized that art stimulates cognitive skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, listening, and decision-making in addition to other areas such as observational skills, listening skills, collaboration, and communications (Lynch, 2019;Thuneberg et al, 2018).…”

Qualitative and quantitative research methods were undertaken to examine and develop a digitally based virtual classroom learning environment (VCLE) for Thai undergraduate students’ creative thinking and innovation enhancement in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEM/STEAM) disciplines. The research methodology was divided into two phases, including the synthesis and then the design of the VCLE. Also, in addition to the study’s authors, nine experts were used for the model’s development and another ten for its assessment (19 total). From their in-depth interviews and subsequent content analysis, their input of the proposed STEAM-ification process was synthesized and the data analyzed. The results revealed that the VCLE design should begin with a face-to-face, classroom learning environment in which the ‘ gamification ’ mechanisms were introduced and examined. This was then reinforced by moving the gamification process online outside of the classroom. Furthermore, five VCLE STEAM-ification steps were found to be particularly useful for enhancing creative thinking and student innovation. These included investigation , discovery , connections , creativity , and reflection . Moreover, we identified the gamification process as consisting of three main components. These were the ‘ game mechanics ,' the ‘ game dynamics ,' and ‘ player emotions ’. The ten experts agreed that the VCLE STEAM-ification creativity and innovation (C & I) process was appropriate at an ‘ excellent ’ level ( = 4.68, S. D. = 0.47), which has great potential in the development of Thai undergraduate student C & I skills. Also, when undertaken correctly, innovation and motivation to learn are also outcomes from both VCLE and gamification applications. Thus, when students undertook study with the VCLE STEAM-ification format, they were found to achieve higher levels of creativity and innovation than students who studied using the traditional teaching plan. These results were found to be statistically significant at the .01 level.

“…The addition of the arts to the original STEM framework can promote learning in more connected and holistic ways by allowing students to adopt systematic thinking skills used by both scientists or 1 The term STEAM was coined by Yakman in 2008 technologists and by artists or designers (Bazler & Van Sickle, 2017).…”

Background The advent of new and emerging technologies and industries has highlighted the need to equip youth with a unique skillset necessary to cope with a rapidly changing and complex digital era and adapt to modern societies' demands. This need has led to the development of teaching approaches to equip students with creative and innovative skills to help prevent any future skills gap. This shift has fuelled the growth of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Education worldwide. Objectives Our goal was to engage in a systematic review of the literature to identify the application and prevalence of emerging technologies within the landscape of STEAM Education. Methods We engaged in a systematic review of the literature. Following the application of exclusion criteria to 461 studies, 43 studies were extracted and analysed. Findings and Conclusions Analysis of these studies provides evidence of the fast‐growing use of innovative emerging technologies within the STEAM landscape across all levels of education, from early childhood to college‐level settings. Our analysis reveals an emphasis on developing STEAM‐related disciplinary knowledge and the desire to develop students' 21st‐century skills with a notable lack of targeted emphasis on developing understandings in the arts disciplines. We identify the need for carefully designed intervention studies involving collaboration between multidisciplinary STEAM experts that use high‐quality measures which support the development of inferences relating to learning outcomes arising from such interventions.

“…Arts were added to the original STEM framework (Yakman and Lee, 2012) to promote learning in more connected and holistic ways. Proponents of STEAM claim an integrated STEM and Arts curriculum is essential to foster creativity and innovation by allowing students to develop systematic thinking skills that combine the mind of a scientist or technologist with that of an artist or designer (Bazler and Van Sickle, 2017).…”
