Abstract
Globally, the transition from Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) is being viewed as a change in education. A discussion on the issues linked to STEM and STEAM education, including the professional development of teachers and a model for a STEAM Programme, called Journeying into Steam focussing on Teacher Professional development and the school-based implementation is presented. A range of partners/organisations who worked with teachers in teacher projects/fieldtrips/teaching were engaged in designing and implementing the programme to primary school teachers. The programme has three phases: teacher fieldwork; school-based and student and community focused Service-Learning.
