Abstract

The paper aims to help define the STEM/STEAM approach to Color Education. Nowadays more and more schools embrace this approach as it seems to respond to a need for renewal of teaching while adapting it to the present time. However, this approach is not univocally defined, so that under this label fall experiences of color education of various kinds and different educational effectiveness. Therefore, this work intends to clarify the meaning of this approach. The article is divided into three parts that show the methodological path undertaken. In the first part, some invariant properties of situations classified as STEM/STEAM were identified; in the second part, the invariants were described in terms of didactic variables inferred from the literature and some STEM/STEAM teaching activities; in the third part, some procedural principles to guide teachers' work were formulated and discussed in the context of teaching and learning about color.
