Innovations in teaching: Integration of STEAM and physical education for primary school students

Abstract

The paper explores the possibilities of integrating STEAM activities with physical education for students of younger grades of elementary school. The aim is to identify the advantages, analyze the challenges and propose recommendations for this approach. Methods of analysis, synthesis and generalization were used. Integrating STEAM with physical education offers numerous benefits, including improving health, fostering creativity and developing social skills. Challenges include limited time, the need for planning, lack of resources, and new assessment methods. Overcoming the challenges of integrating STEAM and physical education requires careful lesson planning, additional resources, and constant adaptation of the curriculum.
