Inclusive STEAM Education
Inclusive STEAM Education is a newly formulated educational approach that combines knowledge, practices and instructional methodologies from Inclusive and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Education. Having as starting points the integration of possibly all STEAM disciplines and students’ talents, interests and needs, it aims to foster and guide all students’ inquiry, dialogue, collaboration, problem-solving, critical thinking and diversity and disability awareness. In Inclusive STEAM Education, no student should be left behind in STEAM classrooms. In contrary, all students, no matter of their learning, cultural, socioeconomic profiles or special education needs should have equal opportunities to develop STEAM competences, needed from future societies and labour markets.
Inclusive STEAM Education Alliance
