Abstract:
The research focuses on analyzing the effectiveness of the STEAM approach in history learning as well as learning strategies that are compatible with the STEAM approach. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the integration of the STEAM approach can improve students' history learning. To analyze this, the research method used is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) developed by Zawacki-Richter. The following are the stages, namely: developing research questions, determining selection criteria, developing the search strategy, the study selection process, and appraising the quality of studies. The selection process is carried out through inlusion and exclusion activities with predetermined criteria. A total of 50 articles in 2020-2025 were then identified regarding abstracts, research objectives, methodological background, and research results. The data collected revealed 10 relevant articles. The results of this study are to prove the effectiveness of the STEAM approach in learning through previous research. The analysis of the results of previous research shows consistent results of increasing history learning assisted by learning strategies. This study highlights the integration of STEAM elements in history learning as an interdisciplinary science capable of producing positive impacts. The STEAM approach allows students to explore the concept of history by integrating other sciences so that they are relevant to historical sciences that cannot stand alone. The implication of this study is that educators should consider incorporating the STEAM learning approach in their history teaching, as this approach is able to support the understanding of history.
