“…Consequently, they suggest teacher training programs in this field, which allow them to explore active learning teaching methods and guide them in the progress of planning their activities. Some of the questions asked of the teachers who participated in the Rodriges- Silva and Alsina's (2022) preparation course, referred to the main advantages and disadvantages found in the preparation and development of the activities as well as what kind of skills they thought the teachers may need to apply to the teaching-learning process of STEAM subjects. The results showed that using different areas of knowledge in an interdisciplinary way seemed to be the most difficult part.…”

Society is in an incessant process of reflection but the educational system is not following the same path, creating an urgent need for a quality educational renovation in which new methodologies, approaches and educational resources are developed based on creation, collaboration and learning by doing. In this sense, the integrated education of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) is postulated as an educational approach through which to transform the teaching-learning processes into processes that contribute to the development of critical, creative, and scientific thinking. Proof of this is the continuous increase in publications in this line of research. This article presents a systematic review with a total of 19 studies published in high-impact journals with the aim of making a critical reflection and evaluating the real scope of incorporating STEAM projects in education to improve the students' mathematical skills. In particular, five areas of interest have been evaluated: active learning in the teaching of STEAM subjects, the development of technological resources, the design and implementation of educational proposals, the evaluation of STEAM education and teacher training in STEAM education. Considering the results, we emphasize the need to continue working on the theoretical foundation and educational practice of this approach to allow teachers to implement it effectively.

“…Currently, there are some efforts intending to reorient teacher training for sustainability [80]. Additionally, teacher training in STEAM education has concluded that this educational approach is complex to enrol in and requires appropriate planning [51].…”

“…Incorporating Engineering and Technology is quite distinctive of STEM and STEAM education, since these knowledge areas were commonly absent in the pre-college curriculum [49][50][51]. One point that unifies STEM/STEAM and sustainability is the significant role of engineering and technology professionals in pursuing solutions towards an ecologically resilient, socially just, and economically viable society [11].…”

We sought to explore the intersection between interdisciplinary STEM/STEAM educational approaches and Early Childhood Education for Sustainability (ECEfS). For that, we conducted a systematic review of Web of Science, Scopus, ERIC, and Scielo databases from 2007 to 2022 following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) commandments. The systematic search led to a list of 12 articles, and we analysed them through theoretical orientations, educational perspectives, and pictures of children’s nature. We found that most studies focus on sustainability’s environmental pillar and address the discipline of science more frequently. Additionally, the authors tend to assume a theoretical orientation on the need for connecting children to a sustainable issue and picture the Apollonian child—assuming children are essentially good and emerge with virtuous traits from this contact, such as environmental care. Accordingly, researchers usually propose experiential learning in environments or settings related to sustainability, while there is a lack of teaching STEM/STEAM knowledge and skills on sustainability or engaging children to act for sustainability. We verified that they frequently lose opportunities to explicitly discern STEM/STEAM knowledge areas and their intersections in moments that could benefit children’s learning.

“…Literature warns that poorly planned activities in engineering worsen stereotypical gender (Fleer, 2021;Matusovich et al, 2021). Gender equality concerns could be incorporated into teacher training programs focused on developing teachers' STEAM planning ability (Rodrigues-Silva and Alsina, 2022).…”

We aim to review students’ conceptions of engineers and engineering accessed through their drawings. Accordingly, we enrolled in a systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) protocols. For that, we established the Web of Science as the source of information. After applying eligibility criteria, the search resulted in ten records. We observed that many reviewed studies enrolled in research designs which contained comparisons of groups, cohorts (cross-age) or pre-post-tests. However, they generally overlooked appropriate statistical tests. Overall, the studies evidenced that most students conceive engineers as males who work individually in manual activities and outdoor environments. The major contribution of this study is providing an overview of the investigation of children’s conceptions of engineering. Additionally, we call attention to the need for more research, teacher training, and carefully planned and executed activities that enhance students’ conceptions of engineers and engineering instead of worsening stereotypes—especially considering current curriculum proposals, such as STEAM education embracing engineering at precollege levels.
