An evaluation framework for STEAM processes: A methodology to assess the effect and effectiveness of STEAM activities developed by the STEAM INC project

Welcome to the evaluation framework for STEAM processes, the third output of the STEAM INC (STEAM Innovation and Curriculum) project funded by Erasmus+. The framework has been underpinned by the reflective outlook and attitude adopted by the project partnership throughout its work. By constantly questioning methods and findings as well as considering how they may be improved for future practitioners within and beyond Higher Education, a framework has evolved that addresses the distinctive elements of a STEAM approach. The framework builds on two previous phases: the collection of STEAM approaches across the project partnership, published as the STEAM Approaches Handbook, followed by the production of new and improved STEAM methods.
