“…The importance of studies in the literature that report the general situation of studies on STEM education, which many researchers have been working on and which has a significant impact on education systems, is of great importance. There are studies conducted in this context in the literature (Arshad, 2021;Irwanto et al, 2022;Li et al, 2020;Martín-Páez et al, 2019;Matsuura & Nakamura, 2021;Wan et al, 2021). These studies are mainly carried out as traditional and systematic reviews.…”

This research systematically examines the experimental articles on STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education). In this direction, experimental articles with the Social Sciences Citation Index on the Web of Science were analyzed within the scope of research questions, taking into account the guidelines of PRISMA. The research was carried out using the systematic review method. In the first search made in this line, the results listed 17,482 studies. Then, this number was reduced to 34 by applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, the studies were examined in detail, and 12 articles that were not suitable were excluded from the scope. Thus, this research was carried out on 22 articles. In line with research problems, articles were categorized by publication year, country, method, study group and number, data collection tools, data analysis methods, topics covered, and experimental methods. The research results infer that the number of articles increases every year, and Turkey and China are the pioneering countries in this sense. It is noteworthy that mixed methods and quasi-experimental methods are generally preferred in the literature. Contrary to the literature, another result obtained from the research is that teachers are preferred in variable numbers as the study group. Scales, tests, and interviews are the most frequently used measurement tools by researchers. Besides, t-tests and content analysis are used in data analysis. Additionally, various topics are covered in the articles. One of the results obtained from the research is that the effect of STEM education on various skills and achievements is examined more. In line with these results, some suggestions were made by discussing the studies in the literature.

“…A global shift towards STEM education soon followed. Countries have since been implementing initiatives to encourage students' uptake of academic studies and careers in STEM areas (Matsuura & Nakamura, 2021). Academic institutions internationally have embraced the STEM approach, developing STEM‐focused programmes and related curricula, often supported by government funding (Ferrari, 2020; Sheffield et al, 2018).…”

“…As STEAM education is an emergent educational model, there are several inconsistencies and lack of conceptual clarity concerning STEAM terminology, pedagogy, and research (Aguilera & Ortiz‐Revilla, 2021; Colucci‐Gray et al, 2017; Matsuura & Nakamura, 2021). Whilst there is shared understanding amongst scholars and practitioners concerning the STEAM acronym [Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics], there are several perspectives and approaches regarding the purpose, definition and integration of A(rts) in STEAM: some scholars consider that “A” in STEAM describes singular “art” as a reference to the visual arts (e.g., drawing, sculpture, photography, etc.…”

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.

“…Engineering also provides students with the skills to creatively apply the foundations of Science and Mathematics in the design of objects, systems, or the construction of manufacturing processes. Mathematics is a subject that aims to develop in students the ability to analyze, reason and communicate ideas effectively through calculating, explaining and constructing and proposing solutions to solve mathematical problems in specific situations (Bentley et al, 2022;Chacko et al, 2015;Kaleci & Korkmaz, 2018;Matsuura & Nakamura, 2021).…”

STEM education is an educational model based on the interdisciplinary integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to solve real-life problems (Bentley et al., 2022; Kaleci & Korkmaz, 2018). When implementing STEM education in primary schools, there are many different approaches: discovery model, engineering design model, 5E, 6E, TRIAL model (Chacko et al., 2015; Kaleci & Korkmaz, 2018; Matsuura & Nakamura, 2021; Stohlmann et al., 2012). The selection of a model to apply appropriately is important, depending on the student, the actual teaching conditions, the teaching content, etc. The article analyzes the content of Science in primary school, teaching practice in Vietnam and illustrates the design of a specific teaching plan for grade 4 students on the basis of applying the model 5E to organize STEM education-oriented teaching in order to provide teachers with an approach when designing science teaching plans for primary school students.
