Foundations and Historical Evolution of STEAM Education

From Educational Traditions to Evidence-Based Integration — Volume 1

Product Description

How did STEAM education emerge, and what makes interdisciplinary learning genuinely meaningful?

In this illustrated scholarly guide, Dr. Albert Tan Lie Sing, Independent Researcher, examines the historical and philosophical foundations of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education.

Readers explore the development of STEM policy, Georgette Yakman’s integrative approach, Rhode Island School of Design’s advocacy for art and design, and the educational philosophies that inform contemporary interdisciplinary learning.

The publication also examines design thinking, guided inquiry, disciplinary integration, and the importance of connecting educational claims with appropriate evidence.

Designed for educators, researchers, curriculum developers, institutional leaders, and curious readers, this volume provides a historical and conceptual introduction to STEAM education without presenting proposed frameworks as experimentally validated learning improvements.

Volume 1 establishes the foundations. A planned Volume 2 will investigate historical developments, international educational initiatives, and competing interpretations in greater depth.
