Abstract

The aim of the present study is to develop a desirable model of education in primary school based on an integrated STEAM approach. The paradigm of this research is qualitative. The method of conducting this study is qualitative content analysis of the deductive type. The population of this study includes all sources, including articles and Latin research conducted in the field of STEAM from 2010 to 2023, and using purposive sampling, about 25 articles were selected as the sample of the present study. The research data were analyzed using the qualitative data analysis software, MAXQDA, version 2018, which was coded after extracting the main categories. In this way, the coordinates of the main elements, namely the purpose, content, method, and evaluation of this approach were obtained. The findings of the research indicate that, in terms of objectives, this approach seeks to integrate, integrate, and apply knowledge in order to train lifelong, creative, and problem-solving learners to effectively face the challenges ahead. The content is selected in a combined format from the constituent areas of STEAM and is context-oriented and practical. This approach follows active and constructivist methods and emphasizes the acquisition of information from multiple sources and simultaneous attention to the process and product in evaluation. Considering the information obtained about the above four elements, finally, the desired model of education in the primary school based on the integrated STEAM approach was developed.
