Tillman, Daniel A.; An, Song A.; Boren, Rachel L. – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2015
In education, mathematics and science are often taught in a manner that lacks opportunities for students to engage in creativity, and the arts are allotted less time with fewer resources. This study focused on integrating STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) lessons with arts-themed activities to create interdisciplinary STEAM…
