Art and IT in a STEAM subject

Abstract

STEAM pedagogy is a promising alternative to solve the crises of STEM. In a Hungarian secondary school, a group of inventory teachers of different majors planned and implemented a series of STEAM projects. Their goal is to make research in STEAM didactics and methodology. In the series of projects, a new school subject is one of the elements: Media-2, which is an optional art subject. The subject is planned on STEAM bases. The model of a

healthy human being is the unity his spiritual-emotional- artistic and rational side. In the subject the joy of creation

and modern digital techniques form a perfect alloy. In the pilot year the main goal was re-arranging the school's website and focus on how sway-s can best contribute to school-life. The students love the course, it has high reputation. We report on this work, thus give qualitative proof for STEAM pedagogy.
