“…Apart from their contributions to society, GC also benefits the students personally and academically as studies have shown students are more culturally sensitive than their teachers (Carter, 2020). is credited to Engineering and Technology teacher Georgette Yakman, who in 2006 founded the STEAM educational framework (Topalska, 2021).…”

The concept of Global Competency (GC) has a growing presence in many collegiate mission statements in the United States. This interconnected, multidisciplinary approach coincides with that of the concept of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education. The focus of this study was to identify what extent GC is present in the classrooms and curriculums, as well as the implementation methods higher education instructors observe and / or utilize in their STEAM field programs. The participants in this study were STEAM-field instructors at higher education institutions in the United States in which GC or an equivalent term is located in their mission or strategic plan. Seventy-six instructors from the midwestern United States completed a survey to generate a GC integration score, and 13 of those also participated in an interview. The quantitative analysis identified a statistically significant difference between the integration scores of Arts and Science instructors and Arts and Engineering instructors. Qualitative analysis identified curriculum and instruction-based strategies of successful integration, common barriers to integration, and the sentiment that integration varies greatly from a regional and sometimes institution-wide setting. The findings of this study can help standardize the concept and integration of GC in higher education as well as provide curriculum developers and administrators with a look at how GC is represented in the current climate of higher education.

“…STEM-based project-based learning is a type of project-based learning that incorporates STEM subjects, notably science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM education benefits students by fostering their critical thinking and competencies necessary for success in the profession and in resolving everyday challenges (Topalska, 2021). STEM education teaches pupils to be creative, analytical, and critical thinkers (Nurtanto et al, 2020).…”

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the STEM-integrated PjBL learning model on students’ motivation, scientific literacy skills, and learning achievement. The study used a non-equivalent control group design with a population of eleventh-grade high school Islam Athirah II Makassar students. Science Class 1 and Science Class 2 were included in the sample. The research instruments consisted of a learning motivation questionnaire, a Test of Scientific Literacy Skill (TOSLS), and an achievement test consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions. The Independent Sample t-test was used to assess the research data. The results indicated that the STEM-integrated PjBL learning model had a significant effect on students’ learning motivation, scientific literacy skills, and learning outcomes, with a significance value of 0.00 (<0.05). According to these findings, the STEM-integrated PjBL learning model can be utilized to increase students’ motivation, scientific literacy skills, and learning outcomes.

“…Some schools incorporate STEAM in their teaching approaches (Hawari & Noor, 2020). STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (Sakon & Petsangsri, 2021;Dolgopolovas & Dagienė, 2021;Topalska, 2021;Kwan & Wong, 2021;Xue, 2022). Essentially, it is an educational approach aimed at fostering early interest and love for both art and science among children (Rodríguez-Nieto & Alsina, 2022).…”

The sudden changes in weather and unpredictable rain have an impact on human life. The objective of this research is to analyze the effectiveness and sensitivity of a rain alarm prototype and its relationship with STEAM. This study employs the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development or Production, Implementation or Delivery, and Evaluations). Then, the benefits will be applied in student learning by teachers through global warming education with an environmental awareness theme. From this research, the following findings were discovered: 1) The rain alarm prototype has a high effectiveness, where each component used was successfully processed and utilized; 2) the sensitivity level revealed that the water, temperature, and humidity sensors have high sensitivity; 3) the relationship between the prototype and STEAM lies in the science aspect, as measured parameters were approached scientifically, the technology aspect through the utilization of the ThingSpeak application, engineering aspect through the collaboration of three different sensors (water, temperature, humidity), and analyzing their contributions in the field of classroom learning. In terms of art, the sensor components are neatly packaged and a housing is also created as an example of installation. Mathematics is found in the coding within the Arduino application. However, a limitation of the research is the inability to utilize an automatic roof system, which means that it cannot automatically lift snacks/clothes during rainfall. Therefore, future research can further develop this prototype by incorporating an automatic roof system.
