Abstract

The present research seeks to establish what has been the academic production that has dealt with the issue of the implementation of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) models in the educational systems of Colombia, Spain and the United States, between the years 2014 to 2021. For this a systemic review of the literature is used, taking into account the process of search, description, evaluation and analysis of bibliography related to the STE (A) M model, both in the implementation of activities in the classroom and without the implementation of activities as well of some documentary analysis. As a result of this review, enriching questions are evidenced regarding educational strategies for the development of computational thinking and engineering, as well as the strong influence of scientific and mathematical thinking on the STE (A) model and its reconfiguration for the inclusion or participation of the arts, it also highlights issues related to government efforts and society as a whole to strengthen the accessibility and permanence of young people in STE (A)M programs, recognizing the importance of the gender and diversity categories cultural. This results in a discussion regarding aspects that have been annexed to the fundamental pillar of STE (A) M education, such as scientific literacy, as well as in the identification of the approaches found in the literature about the need or relevance of engineering in society, science teaching and its implications in the development of STE (A) M competencies, understanding of some perspectives in new methodological proposals, STE (A) M models in Colombia, Spain and the United States, the needs related to the inclusive aspect of gender, among other issues that are developed in the scenarios of the school.
