Abstract

 

STEAM education is increasingly attracting greater attentions from educators and researchers worldwide, including Viet Nam. This education model is considered as the evolution of the STEM approach by integrating the Art-Liberal element. Despite numerous researches on STEAM education, there has yet been a consensus on how to emphasize the Art-Liberal element in the application of such an education model. In this paper, design thinking teaching process is proposed as one viable method to implement STEAM education with an emphasis on Art-Liberal element. Firstly, an overview of STEAM education is presented followed by the clarification of different features of Art-Liberal element in STEAM education. Secondly, the design thinking process is examined as an effective means of incorporating students’ intuitive and analytical thinking via the open and close phases within the process. The study suggests the applicability of the design thinking teaching process for STEAM education in Vietnamese High School curriculum, which greatly contributes to the students’ competency development.
