Abstract

This bibliometric analysis assesses science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) integration in science education from 2019 to 2025. It explores potential advantages in implementing the STEAM approach to optimizing science education through a comprehensive, interdisciplinary process. It highlights the significance of integrating scientific principles with real-world solutions to combat global concerns like climate change, as well as conserving biodiversity. The review points to central challenges, such as limited educator competence as well as proper curriculum planning. Yet, in addition to challenges, it also outlines areas for further research and cooperation among schools to develop more inclusive, innovative, and environmentally friendly systems of education. The research covered the international scope from 2029 to 2025 with a total of 966 documents from all countries and 98 documents from Indonesia. This study also narrows the scope to Indonesia, enabling a comparison between national and international findings. The relatively smaller number of Indonesian publications highlights the need for further bibliometric development and underscores the importance of linking the results to Indonesia’s local context and potential or Indigenous knowledge. The research indicates that the STEAM method can enhance students’ cognitive abilities, develop critical thinking, and optimize creativity, ultimately towards sustainable development as well as environmental consciousness. © Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) 2026.
