Abstract

India has a long tradition of holistic and multidisciplinary learning, from universities such as Takshashila and Nalanda, to the extensive literature of India combining subjects across fields. NEP-2020 recommends that all branches of creative human endeavor, including mathematics, science, vocational subjects, professional subjects, and soft skills which undoubtedly have Indian origins, must be considered as ‘arts’, so this notion of a ‘knowledge of many arts’ or often called as the ‘liberal arts’ must be included again to Indian education, as it is the kind of education that is prerequisite for the 21st century. Recently, a multidisciplinary approach to education in the form of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) has aroused global interest. STEAM education is viewed as an advanced learning procedure that will reshape the Indian education system. This research is being conducted to find the effect of STEAM Learning Approach on the Creative Thinking Skills of learners at the Elementary Level. Quasi- Experimental Design has been used on two intact sections of 40 learners of class VII. Mean, Standard Deviation, and Critical ratio (t) were calculated. It can be concluded that STEAM Learning Approach does enhance the Creative Thinking Skills of learners.
