Historical Origins of STEAM Education
From Educational Traditions to Institutional Movements — Volume 2
How did modern STEAM education develop, and what does the historical evidence actually establish?
In this illustrated scholarly companion, Dr. Albert Tan Lie Sing examines earlier educational traditions, the Bauhaus, John Dewey's philosophy of inquiry, the history of STEM terminology, Georgette Yakman's integrative STEAM framework, RISD's art-and-design advocacy, and South Korea's 2011 STEAM initiative.
The book distinguishes documented institutional developments from later interpretations and examines their significance for contemporary interdisciplinary education.
For educators, researchers, curriculum developers, institutional leaders, and readers interested in STEAM/STREAM education.
