This book looks at the value of integrating the arts and sciences
in the school curriculum. It argues that this will help students
further their understanding of analytical concepts through the use
of creativity. The authors illustrate how schools can work towards
presenting common practices, concepts, and content. Coverage
features case studies and lessons learned from classrooms across
the United States. The notion of STEAM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) is an emerging discipline
unique in its desire to provide a well-rounded approach to
education. The chapters of this volume examine STEAM in a variety
of settings, from kindergarten to higher education. Readers will
learn about the practical considerations involved when introducing
the arts and creativity into traditionally left brain processes.
This includes best practices for creating and sustaining successful
STEAM initiatives in any school, college, or university. For
instance, one chapter discusses novel approaches to teach writing
with the scientific method in order to help students better present
their ideas. The authors also detail how the arts can engage more
diverse learners, including students who are not traditionally
interested in STEM subjects. They provide three concrete examples
of classroom-tested inquiries: designing a prosthetic arm for a
child, making a paleontology investigation, and taking a closer
look at the arts within roller coaster engineering. This book is an
invaluable resource for teachers and teacher trainers, university
faculty, researchers, and school administrators. It will also be of
interest to science, mathematics, engineering, computer science,
information technology, arts and design and technology teachers.
