Keywords:

Abstract

This systematic literature review explores how STEAM education is implemented through the Montessori Method for children aged 3 to 6. Following PRISMA protocols, 11 studies (2006–2023) were analysed, focusing on pedagogy aspects, curriculum, activities, teacher training, and child development. The findings highlight strong connections between Montessori pedagogy and STEAM, revealing positive impacts on children's learning and teachers' professional growth. Future research should explore how Montessori-based training can enhance educational practices, especially regarding teachers’ action research and the integration of STEAM in early education.
