What is Disciplinary Core Idea

Challenges and Opportunities for Transforming From STEM to STEAM Education
The committee developed its small set of core ideas in science and engineering. We grouped disciplinary ideas into four major domains: the physical sciences; the life sciences; the earth and space sciences; and engineering, technology, and applications of science” (NRC, 2012, p. 31 AU28: The in-text citation "NRC, 2012, p. 31" is not in the reference list.

Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to describe and explain multiple methods of integrating STEAM into the curriculum for pre-service teachers. The chapter includes both stand-alone modular methods of integration and continuous integration methods that attempt to merge STEAM concepts throughout the curriculum. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed, along with the challenges teachers faces as they attempt to integrate STEAM. Recommendations are made along with suggestions for the future direction of STEAM integration as the field becomes more transdisciplinary.
