    Key Issues / Volume 17, Number 34

    It is important to generate a reflection on learning styles and the diversity of ways in which students learn nowadays. Therefore, teaching innovation groups or entities should contribute to the improvement of the quality of teaching and learning processes, as well as a reflection on the existing educational system and models.

    The main objective is to generate a significant impact on teaching practice and contribute to the improvement of the quality of teaching and learning processes, through the design, implementation and development of good innovative teaching practices that favour spaces for lifelong learning for our students and a collaborative culture that also allows for the professional development of teachers.Reference will be made to methodologies aimed at the development of students' personal, academic and social competences that favour the education of the whole person.

    This issue will promote the dissemination of studies, research results and proposals for intervention and innovation in educational contexts that address the impact of new methodologies and the management of learning spaces, which favour the training of professionals involved in the transformation of their environment.

    Key aspects of the Call for Papers Volume 15. Number 32:

    This new special issue to be published in October 2023, will promote the dissemination of pedagogical proposals that address innovation, new resources and teaching-learning methodology in STEAM environments .

    STEAM Education, which integrates content related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, linked to the Arts and Humanities, seeks to favour the diversity of ways of learning in the different educational stages. It allows the integration of concepts from these subjects in a practical way through the resolution of problems applied to real cases, in a context where spaces, the environment, methodologies and educational resources take on special relevance for the integration and development of the different Learning Styles.

    This call aims to publish research articles, studies, experiences and educational practices that highlight the following topics:

    - Innovative pedagogical styles in the field of STEAM subjects.
    - Innovative methodologies for STEAM learning. Case studies and challenges in their implementation.
    - Use of immersive technological resources in STEAM environments.
    - Digital assessment systems adapted to STEAM subjects.
    - Ethics and responsibility in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in STEAM education: Ethical dilemmas, responsibilities associated with the use of AI in teaching and guarantees of appropriate and equitable use in educational environments.
    - Distance education and its impact on STEAM learning styles: challenges and opportunities in the digital age.
    - Teaching programming and robotics as part of STEAM education: how to foster logical thinking and problem solving.
    - Industry-education collaboration in STEAM: partnerships, initiatives and opportunities for training and employment.

    - Processes for the improvement of STEAM skills and knowledge in teacher training.
    - Appropriate integration of the Arts in educational projects related to STEAM methodology. Comparison of cases.
    - Framing of the concept of "creativity" from the Science-Arts convergence in pedagogical approaches that consider STEAM methodology.
    - Study of didactic cases around the Arts where Project Based Learning is developed according to the STEAM methodology.
    - Reflections from the philosophy of STEAM methodology, about Art as a social transformer in contexts of formal and non-formal education.
