Introducing STEAM Disciplines in Early Childhood Education: Intervention Plan

Abstract

In view of the actual changing outlook of the labour market, partly caused by the progress of technology, it is expected that, in 2030, around 85% of the jobs that current students of the educational system will perform are unknown to date, they have not yet been created (Institute for the Future for Dell Technologies, 2017). Which the only certainty that jobs will continue to be linked to the development of technologies and scientific areas of knowledge and looking toward a parallel development of the educative and economic sectors, arises the STEM approach in education, which combines the teaching of four disciplines: science, technology, engineering and mathematics; and, later, STEAM, which incorporates artistic disciplines, and mainly creativity, for the development of science and technology.
