Abstract

There is a growing call on the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) at the primary school level, aiming to motivate students to learn these subject matters, in order to correspond to the scientific and technological challenges of an increasingly demanding society. Recently, many studies sustain the importance of extending STEM to STEAM by adding Arts to the previous areas, to better prepare students for real life. In this article, we present a way to promote STEAMH, by integrating Heritage with STEAM. With a qualitative approach and an action research methodology, we intend to investigate how to develop a pedagogical intervention project that fosters STEAMH learning at primary school and local community. It is concluded that it is possible to implement a STEAMH pedagogical intervention project, being necessary to develop a collaborative partnership with local community and local schools.
