Abstract

STEAM education in schools is identified as one an educational priority. The aim of this article is to discuss the challenges faced by primary school teachers in implementing STEAM education. A semi-systematic analysis of scientific literature was chosen to conduct the study. Based on research findings, three key challenges faced by primary school teachers in implementing STEAM education were identified. The findings of the study suggest that teachers struggle to ensure inter- and transdisciplinarity. Most of the focus is on the integration of science and mathematics, while the inclusion of engineering, technology and the arts disciplines often remains insufficient. While digital technologies have great potential to enrich STEAM education for primary students, their
integration remains a challenge. This is not only due to the lack of available technological options, but also because of the limited digital literacy of teachers, and the absence of clear methodological guidelines for how to use these tools effectively. It is therefore essential to ensure that schools are equipped with the necessary digital technologies, and that teachers are empowered to use them effectively in STEAM teaching and learning.
