A Systematic Mapping Study of Creating or Applying Artistic Tasks in STEAM Education: A Taxonomy to Classify Arts-Integrated Activities

“A” in recent STEAM approach means Arts that reflects differently artistic integration with soft skills into STEM, explicit focus of hard skills thereby balancing technical expertise with an artistic vision to ignite innovation and diversity in first class mindset. The Knowledge production in the field of Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics (STEAM) education is accelerating at a fast speed while simultaneously time for filtering information and extracting necessary content is limited and has interdisciplinary nature. As a result, this burdens researchers and teachers with mental torture and review of irrelevant content from a huge amount of data, making it hard to keep up with current research and state of art in STEAM education. Especially, when arts integration is becoming increasingly common as a natural fit to the STEAM curriculum, researchers are often faced with the need of extracting relevant content and assessing the collective evidence in building solid arguments for their research through literature review. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify, classify and evaluate the current state of the art in art integration practices of STEAM education. The scientific contribution of this paper includes a taxonomy that provides a classification of artistic tasks according to different art activities of STEAM (such as drawing, painting, and language use). This paper also sheds light on which aspects of artistic activities in STEAM receive much attention and outlines research opportunities and gaps in art integration for STEAM education for future studies.
