STEAM IN PRIMARY EDUCATION, IT IS POSSIBLE?

In recent years, new techniques, educational proposals, and methodologies have been emerged applied in teaching classrooms. But there are few occasions reflecting on whether or not exists an appropriate curricular framework to apply for these educational initiatives. In the present work, the STEAM education is subjected to study, from the curricular point of view, taking as a basis of study the Spanish educational system, more specifically the stage of Primary Education, to verify whether or not the development of this STEAM teaching within the Spanish educational system. This comparison between STEAM and the elementary curriculum has given as results that three areas of knowledge agree with STEAM education, being them Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Art Education, as well as different curricular aspects that support the use of STEAM teaching. Therefore, the educational system must bet on those integrated educational trends, where various knowledge areas come together and develop broader teaching and learning.
