Abstract

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) or STEM education is one of the education approaches to create critical thinking for students and teachers. This paper adopted a systematic review of the literature in Scopus from 2013 to 2023, using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA). Based on predefined inclusion criteria, a total of 9 articles published within the last decade were analysed in detail. The findings of this review indicate that STEAM education is determined by students’ attitudes, teacher attitudes, and teaching creativity. The results also confirm that there is a link between steam education and thinking skills among students in Indonesia. This paper also highlights the trends in steam education for primary and secondary students in Indonesia. The findings of this paper are to allocate avenues for future research on the theme of steam education for building better human capital in Indonesia.
