Abstract
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education is an interdisciplinary approach that integrates these five areas to promote creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and cross-disciplinary learning. This study aimed to examine how the STEAM curriculum is implemented at the primary school level in Islamabad, Pakistan. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with fifteen curriculum experts selected via purposive sampling. The research instrument was validated by subject specialists, and its reliability was confirmed through pilot testing using Cohen's Kappa for test -retest reliability calculated value of Cohen’s Kappa = 0.82 (indicating strong agreement).The findings indicated that STEAM education has strong potential to enhance transdisciplinary learning among primary students. However, challenges remain, particularly in the areas of content integration, teacher training, availability of resources, and continuous professional development. The study recommends strengthening infrastructure, providing adequate teaching materials, and developing clear assessment strategies and supportive policies to facilitate effective STEAM implementation. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the need for systemic improvements in teacher preparation, instructional resources, and educational policies to ensure the successful integration of STEAM education. It contributes valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers aiming to advance STEAM learning at the primary level.
