Abstract:

Since the arts entered the STEM educational system, the system has become broader by taking advantage of the applied nature of fine arts fields. Due to the special nature of teaching ceramics, which is considered the closest arts subject to science, this study analyzes the relationship between the skills required for ceramics in the art room and their parallel applications in the science classroom, especially in physics and chemistry. This study proposes models that link learning skills for ceramics with corresponding skills that can be easily acquired in science classes to achieve STEAM's educational goals.
