the workforce,
they must be
able to solve
problems!

11. Teacher perception
Teachers often have negative
feelings about teaching
STEM related fields

Dance, M., & Pfiester, J. (2013). Teacher STEM
Perception and Preparation: Inquiry-Based

Elementary Teachers. Journal of Educational
Research, 106(2), 157. doi:
10.1080/00220671.2012.667014

12. Teacher Knowledge
Teachers need thorough,
consistent and
continual professional
development in
STEAM related lesson
development.

13. Deeper learning
Integrating art education
encourages sustained
learning

14. Limits of Research
“STEM” or “STEAM” is used
to describe integration of the
subjects in the United States
I have very little research
outside of the United States
discussing integration of
subjects
I am still looking

15. Future Research
How does music education
fit into this thought process?
How has AMSTI aided in
this development in
Alabama?
How are Alabama art
teachers implementing
STEAM? or are they?
