Abstract

STEAM education is being promoted and emphasized worldwide. In the process of STEAM activities, students are no longer passively acquiring knowledge; they can even improve their motivation to learn, interest, and problem-solving skills [1]. English picture books are also frequently connected with STEAM activities. However, in remote areas like Yunlin County, small schools face the problems of not only teacher shortages but also limited time for English learning [2]. Since there was very little research on STEAM education in rural primary schools in Yunlin County, the purpose of our study was to implement an experiment combining English picture books with STEAM activities for these schools. The results provided empirical evidence on integrating STEAM education with language learning and instructional strategies for cross-disciplinary teaching in rural primary education.
