“…as gardening treatment, plant education, and watering are more necessary for elementary and middle school students as well as college students, where busy daily life is a barrier to plant growth. (Kwack and Jang, 2021;Chung, 2018). 2017), practical programs such as flower storage and cut flower life extension were also thought to be important (Moon et al, 2010) (Table 6).…”

Background and objective: In order to develop basic data for horticultural education and activities for college students struggling to overcome various stress and practical problems, this study is designed to understand the actual conditions of college students' horticultural experience, knowledge, and preferences.Methods: First, the experiences of horticultural activities were classified and analyzed using Google Forms. At this time, the horticultural experience was investigated by dividing it into whether there was a plant cultivation experience, a personal plant experience, and plant purchase experiences. Second, gardening activities and knowledge and preference were analzed. Third, the correlation between plant experience and plant knowledge was analyzed, and a factor analysis was conducted to determine preferred horticultural activities and class programs.Results: In the case of experiencing plant cultivation, there was a high interest in companion plants, understanding plant management methods, preventing pests, packaging or storage methods of flowers, and social media related to plants. In the case of no experience in plant cultivation, plant indifference, difficulty in cultivation, and mental and time leisure were cited as conditions for plant cultivation. While personal plant purchasing experience is about two to three times a year, gift purchasing experience was very high, and the reason why flowers were not purchased except for gifts was because they were discarded or did not know how to store them. Plant knowledge, such as plant types, names, and breeding methods, was very low, but plant terriers showed high interest, and preferences for flower plants, foliage plants, succulent plants, and fine dust removal plants and gardens, gardens, and plantation activities were high. "Plant experience" was highly connected with the latest knowledge such as "understanding fine dust plants" (<i>p</i> < .001), especially "plant interest" was highly connected with all the horticultural knowledge presented (<i>p</i> < .001). As a result of the arithmetic factor analysis, the rotational factor analysis of the six factors showed the highest number of "plant activity" types, and the factor load was important in the order of flower complex tour, plant shop tour, water cultivation, terrarium, and indoor gardening activities. The second factor was "horticulture and horticultural activities," and the factor load was high in the order of correctional care, garden care, gardening, herb raising, and vegetable raising activities.

“…It was observed that the students' interest in natural life increased and they were able to earn their own money, and this situation increased their motivation at school. Kwack and Jang (2021) developed a STEAM Program using classroom wall gardens. Primary school students participating in the "plaster pot wall garden", "pluggable LED wall garden", "coffee pack wall garden", and "hanging wall garden" programs have shown increased interest in science, a high level of understanding and participation, and helping them connect with other subject areas specified.…”

In this review study, the inclusive potential that emerges when garden-based learning, which has long been considered within the framework of science education in the literature, is handled within the framework of STEM has been examined. The research calls for addressing garden-based learning in relation to STEM education. In particular, he suggests that digital tools and landscape architecture elements related to the integration of the engineering discipline into the garden can be mentioned, permaculture design can be applied, and wall gardens can be made in narrow spaces. STEM suggests that there is a need for teacher training for garden-based learning and that this can be achieved especially through collaborative work. In addition, it argues that STEM garden-based learning practices can turn into a nature mobilization beyond a teaching practice, by associating gardening studies with other school stakeholders, as well as integrating the disciplines in STEM with a purpose.

“…Stable conditions for teachers refer to the educational background, average age, professional title, and salary of teachers. In order to ensure the better implementation of the STEAM educational concept, schools should strengthen the construction of teachers' teams in the management of teacher training [34]. In addition, if conditions permit, the school can build a multi-stage team of teachers internally to build stable teams of STEAM teachers.…”

Education in today’s society is starting to focus on training in line with the new curriculum concept and curriculum integration concept, paying attention to the change in students’ learning styles and following the law of students’ physical and mental development. In order to cultivate talents more in line with the needs of society and, meanwhile, to improve students’ own quality and comprehensive competitiveness, this paper analyzes and studies the classroom teaching strategies of art songs and students’ psychology under the educational philosophy of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics (STEAM). Firstly, the concept of STEAM education is introduced in detail, and teaching activities under the concept of STEAM education are analyzed. Secondly, the teaching strategies for the teaching of art songs are put forward. Finally, students’ learning psychology is explored to prove the correctness of the teaching strategies. A questionnaire survey is conducted by constructing the evaluation system of the STEAM educational concept. The survey results show that the classroom teaching of art songs under the STEAM educational concept significantly improved students’ “teamwork and interpersonal skills” and “learning interest”. The calculated results of P values are all less than 0.01, which shows that the correlation is significant. Therefore, the STEAM educational concept has positive significance for improving students’ learning motivation and comprehensive quality. This paper provides new theoretical and practical support for current higher education teaching strategies and models by assessing the application of STEAM education in teaching art songs and the blended teaching effectiveness in college English. This paper offers valuable experiences and methodological insights for future similar research endeavors.
