The methodology addressed was through the documentary analysis method supported by the contribution of Chesky and Wolfmeyer, by referencing the analysis according to the axiology and ontology of the STEAM approach. The selected bibliography allowed to identify aspects of interest that allowed to present well-founded arguments about the reality that occurs around it and its application or development, so it is considered a very useful contribution for those who wish to know or deepen about the educational transformations that are taking place permeated from the perspective of the STEAM approach. As a conclusive aspect, it is highlighted that the STEM approach corresponds to a perspective that promotes curiosity, creativity and innovation, activates students in the learning process, develops collaborative environments, which leads to dynamizing teaching, and also refers to the importance of the integration of disciplines, critical thinking. It is also highlighted that the teacher becomes a guide and support in teaching, thus transforming the representation of both the teacher and the student, by building new and different pedagogical experiences as actors in the educational system.
