The emerging need for pedagogical innovation has indicated trans, multi, and interdisciplinary approaches to holistic and sustainable learning via combinations of science and arts-based approaches. STEAM as a pedagogical approach is considered helpful for learners to develop both analytic and creative faculties by using project-based, inquiry-based, and problem-based learning in an integrated learning environment. Different disciplines in STEAM Education are regarded as references for skills and knowledge systems for learners to solve real-world problems, develop transversal competencies, design innovative STEAM products, and experience a productive culture of learning. With these perspectives, KUSOED has developed a PGDE (One-Year) program in STEAM Education. The PGDE program is specially designed for in-service/pre-service teachers, teacher educators, school leaders, and recent graduates who are interested in developing expertise in STEAM Education through this innovative educational program.
