This document provides guidance on evaluating or designing a STEAM proposal. It begins by defining STEAM education, highlighting its evolution and offering a specific definition used by the STEAM-Active project, which views STEAM as an interdisciplinary teaching method integrating content, skills, and beliefs from multiple disciplines with a focus on real-world contexts. The document then discusses three integration types - Interdisciplinary, Transdisciplinary, and Metadisciplinary - and their application in various educational contexts.
The document also focuses on designing, implementing, and evaluating Teaching Learning Sequences (TLS) using Project/Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology. The PBL steps include defining the problem, developing solutions, analyzing data, modeling, testing, and teamwork. It provides a detailed process for designing a STEAM proposal, emphasizing the importance of context, learning objectives, inquiry-based activities, and evaluation.
The final part covers the inclusion of transversal elements like Circular Economy and Gender issues in STEAM designs. The document concludes with a template for designing STEAM proposals, ensuring they align with the project's definitions and methodologies while addressing these transversal elements.
