Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop a STEAM-based science education program for children and to verify its effectiveness. An S-STEAM-based science education program for young children was developed through careful analysis of prior research on science education for young children and S-STEAM. The participants were 29 four-year-old children from daycare centers located in Seoul (an experimental group of 14 and comparative group of 15). The S-STEAM program was applied to the experimental group, while the control group went through a generalscience education course provided by the government. TTCT of Creative Thinking (TTCT: Figures A and B) wasused as a research tool, and a multiple intelligence test tool was applied to teachers of the groups. Afterwards, analysisof covariance was implemented to find the S-STEAM program's effects. First, the results showed positive effects on overall creativity, as well as in fluency, originality, abstractness, elaboration, and openness components of creativity.Second, the results showed positive effects on overall multiple intelligences and its components of linguistic, musical,spatial, logical/mathematical, physical exercise, interpersonal, and naturalist intelligence.
