Abstract


Abstract: This literature review explores the design of a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model integrated with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) within the framework of interdisciplinary learning, aiming to enhance university students' critical and creative thinking abilities in mathematics. As 21st-century education demands higher-order thinking skills, integrating PjBL and STEAM has emerged as a promising pedagogical approach to foster deeper understanding, innovation, and problem-solving capabilities. This study examines previous research and theoretical perspectives on the implementation of interdisciplinary STEAM-based PjBL models, highlighting their impact on students' engagement and cognitive development. The review also identifies key components and design principles necessary for effectively applying this model in mathematics education. Findings suggest that such an integrated approach not only enriches the learning experience but also significantly contributes to the development of students' critical and creative mathematical thinking skills.

Keywords
