The Steam Inherent In Stem: A Mathematical Example, Aaron S. Zimmerman Dec 2017

The Steam Inherent In Stem: A Mathematical Example, Aaron S. Zimmerman

The STEAM Journal

STEAM education is intended to integrate a creative and aesthetic dimension into STEM education. By drawing on John Dewey’s philosophy of aesthetic experience and by exploring a simple mathematical problem (Is the graph of a given function increasing at a given point?), I argue that STEM education already has an aesthetic dimension inherent within it. Furthermore, I argue that by recognizing this dimension of STEM curricula, STEM teachers will more easily be able to facilitate aesthetic experiences for their students.
