Palgrave Studies In Play Performance Learning and Development The Search for Method in STEAM Education - Jaime E Martinez Kartoniert (TB)

This book explores various approaches to building a positive interdisciplinary STEAM (science technology engineering arts and math) learning environment as described by educators across the K-20 educational ladder. Crucial to their success Martinez finds is the playful and performatory approach they employ in their teaching. Their practices are creative improvisational and inclusive and are shared in detail through illustrations and interviews. Throughout the book the author explores a Vygotskian cultural performatory approach to creating interdisciplinary STEAM learning environments drawing out the history of this approach and its success in fostering collaboration creativity leadership and communication skills as well as its effect on social emotional and cognitive growth in both formal and informal educational settings.
