  • Abstract:
  • This study explores the impact of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education on cognitive skill development among high school students. As educational approaches evolve to emphasize interdisciplinary learning, STEAM integrates both academic theory and real-world application, fostering essential skills such as creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. This research examines how STEAM-based learning enhances cognitive abilities across multiple domains, including executive functioning, analytical thinking, and social cognition. By involving students in hands-on, project-based learning, STEAM encourages collaboration, adaptability, and innovation, equipping them with the skills needed to navigate complex challenges in modern society. The study highlights the unique role of the Arts in promoting cognitive flexibility and creative problem-solving, suggesting that STEAM provides a comprehensive framework that prepares students not only for academic success but also for diverse career opportunities in an interconnected world.
