Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the extent to which the outcomes of the STEAM approach are presented in the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of teacher qualification programs in Palestinian universities, and to develop ILOs for teacher qualification programs based on the STEAM approach.

Methods: The study used a qualitative methodology in thematic analysis to examine the presence of STEAM approach outcomes in ILOs of teacher qualification programs through inductive and deductive Code Book-aided analysis. Additionally, a system-analysis technique was used to develop STEAM-informed ILOs for teacher qualification programs in Palestinian universities. The validity of this visualization was established by educational experts through a specialized scale including comprehensive relevant criteria.

Results: The study found that the frequency with which STEAM approaches are used in teacher qualification programs at Palestinian universities is limited, as are their effects. The STEAM-related outcomes more frequently encountered are critical thinking, reflective thinking, collaborative learning, and problem solving. The proposal includes a matrix of inputs, processes and outputs that encompasses STEAM-informed ILOs in four different levels: knowledge (8 ILOs), mental skills (12), performative skills (12), and transferable skills (10).

Conclusions: The proposal includes mechanisms to the application of its visualization at various levels, including by the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission (AQAC) and the Ministry of Higher Education in their evaluation of academic programs. It can also be useful at the university level as a tool in the writing of STEAM-informed ILOs to form teachers who can implement the STEAM approach for achieving the idea of productive school.
