Road-STEAMer theoretical framework

Overall RoadSTEAMer is aiming to

• produce better knowledge and shared understanding of Europe’s particular educational needs and how STEAM can address them.
• explore the opportunities arising through STEAM for integrated science learning approaches and synergies​
• study those policy deficiencies that hinder the impactful adoption of STEAM approaches in Europe’s science education landscape​

To support and underpin these aims we are currently developing a RoadSTEAMer theoretical and conceptual framework. The framework is important as it houses the best of our existing academic knowledge to date and offers state of the art understanding of STEAM strategy and practice within Europe. The framework functions hand in hand with the RoadSTEAMer criteria which together will form the bedrock for ensuing RoadSTEAMer case studies, best practice recommendations and policy interventions.
