Abstract:

The journey of education has entered a new era where mastery in the fields of science, technology, and mathematics has become the main discourse in all sectors of human life. Development of mathematics learning models that can integrate science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) through its implementation in learning that is able to trigger students to be creative and critical in the learning process. STEAM provides a new approach in the world of education that can be the ability to innovate and think critically and improve cognitive, psychomotor, and respective aspects. This study discusses how the STEAM model and approach and mathematical literacy skills are studied using systematic literature reviews (SLR) approach. This research aims to provide benefits related to STEAM. This study used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyse (PRISMA ) method obtained from journals related to this theme. Data collection was done by specifying the source of the data, namely, Elsevier. From this study, the authors filtered 2968 articles into 1580 based on open access, available subscriptions, and only currently published, which were then filtered into 108 by mathematical subjects. Finally, 20 articles met the criteria for appropriate research admission. The findings of this study show that STEAM is an integrated learning approach that encourages students to think more broadly about problems that occur in the real world, especially mathematical literacy skills. The STEAM-based learning approach provides students with learning experiences that are interconnected with science, technology, engineering, art, and math. This makes students richer in relation to solving problems encountered regarding mathematical literacy.
