Analysis of Critical Thinking Path of College Students Under STEAM Course

This study examined the differences in critical thinking levels among students with different levels of academic engagement in STEAM courses. In this study, 30 college students were selected as subjects. Before experimenting, they received the academic engagement test and were divided into high, medium, and low groups based on their performance. Then, each group received three STEAM sessions and was asked to complete a topic discussion task. The results show that there are significant differences in the critical thinking level of students with different levels of academic engagement. Specifically, the students with a medium level of academic engagement had the highest critical thinking. Research has shown that the level of academic engagement affects the critical thinking of students in STEAM courses.
