Background: Emerging methodologies that apply and integrate science, technology, engineering, art, and math
(STEAM) in education have appeared in recent years as a pedagogical alternative providing more holistic and
attractive education.
Method: The research methodology used in this work is of a bibliometric nature. Specifically, an academic
performance analysis and a co-word analysis has been carried out. The term STEAM was analyzed in the Web of
Science (WoS) database. The WoS programs Analyze Results, Creation Citation Report, and SciMAT were used. A
total of 1116 manuscripts were analyzed.
Results: The results show that studies in the field education of STEAM began in 2006 and have continued
uninterruptedly up to the present day, although interest generated in the scientific community has been irregular.
Conclusions: It can be concluded that STEAM studies have not had an established and robust line of research over
time, although it can be observed that the trends in this aspect are focused on the scientific branch of education.
In addition, the topics of study on STEAM include points related to gender differences, the influence of STEAM on
people of different races, the skills developed by students, and training teachers to implement teaching and
learning processes with STEAM.
