Reimaginando el aprendizaje para un mundo en cambio / Reimagining learning for a changing world

This volume brings together contributions organized around key thematic strands that address major challenges and opportunities in STEAM education. First, it explores pedagogical approaches grounded in active, meaningful learning, including project- and challenge-based learning, inquiry, design thinking, maker culture, and computational thinking. Second, it presents implementations across educational stages—Early Childhood, Primary, Secondary, Vocational Education and Training, and Higher Education—enabling comparison of approaches, levels of complexity, and conditions for successful adoption in diverse contexts.

A third strand focuses on competency-based and formative assessment, offering practical ways to collect and interpret evidence of learning through rubrics, portfolios, authentic performance tasks, and self-regulation strategies. The volume also addresses digital transformation and the pedagogically purposeful use of emerging technologies, positioning programming, robotics, data literacy, and artificial intelligence as means to enhance learning rather than ends in themselves.

Across all sections, the book integrates inclusion, equity, and gender perspectives to broaden participation, reduce opportunity gaps, and design STEAM proposals that acknowledge learner diversity and promote meaningful access and success. Finally, it highlights teacher professional development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and partnerships with the surrounding ecosystem—schools, institutions, communities, and industry—as essential conditions for sustaining educational innovation over time.

The volume combines contributions from experienced professionals and institutions with work by teachers and early-career researchers entering the STEAM field. Its purpose is twofold: to transfer insights derived from real-world practice and to support educational decision-making grounded in pedagogical criteria and contextualized evidence.
