Integrating the Arts and STEM

Objectives

  • To analyse what teachers can do if they aren’t artists.
  • To consider the difference between an artist and a teaching artist.
  • To discuss how to adjust teachers’ schedules to provide for Arts integration.
  • To discover whether Arts affect test scores and how to complete the curriculum in a STEAM classroom.

Key Concepts

  • STEAM Education
  • Multidisciplinary Learning
  • Cross-curricular Problem Solving

Module overview

Art and science both hinge on discovery, and discovery requires thinking out of the box. STEAM—the integration of music, visual arts, and drama into daily STEM instruction—is proven to enhance student achievement in STEM subjects. After all, creative, real-world problem-solving is what working scientists and mathematicians actually do. This module considers how busy STEM educators weave arts activities into a sometimes inflexible STEM curriculum.
