MARIN-RIOS, Alejandra; CANO-VILLA, Jessica  e  MAZO-CASTANEDA, Alejandra. Appropriation of STEM/STEAM Education in Colombia: A Review of Undergraduate Thesis Production. Rev. Cient. [online]. 2023, n.47, pp.55-70.  Epub 21-Set-2023. ISSN 0124-2253.  https://doi.org/10.14483/23448350.20473.

STEM education is an approach that aims to respond to the demands of a highly digitized society with emerging problems that cannot be solved from a single disciplinary field. In Colombia, initiatives have proliferated from different sectors, still isolated and with few reports in higher education, particularly in initial teacher training. Therefore, this article aimed to analyze the understandings and appropriations of the STEM/STEAM educational approach in the country from a perspective of professional training. To this effect, a critical review of undergraduate works was carried out based on the following categories: purposes, acronyms and denominations; levels of integration; learning objectives; and implementation strategies. As a result, a preference for using the STEM acronym was found, and interdisciplinarity was highlighted as the level of integration sought in the design of classroom experiences, but, at the same time, challenges for achieving it were recognized, as well as discussions that are still limited regarding the way in which meaningful relationships could be established between the disciplines of the STEM/STEAM acronym.
