Abstract

This study, which was supported by a quantitative research paradigm with two experiments and two control groups of 4 × 4 quasi-experimental design, aimed to find out the impact of a sustainable progressive STEAM (SP-STEAM model) application model on 5th-grade primary school students’ critical thinking dispositions and mathematics achievements in North Cyprus. The treatment model was applied to two independent experimental groups for 14 weeks. The split-plot multiple group analysis of variance (split-plot ANOVA) statistical techniques was used to calculate between- and within-group significances regarding exogenous variables. The SPSS-24 software package was used for the analysis. The Pre-test and post-test results deriving from the experiment and control groups revealed a significant effect of the SP-STEAM model upon the 5th-grade primary school students’ critical thinking dispositions, as measured using the CCTDI, mathematic achievements, as well as measured using a dedicated exam. The results were discussed in detail in light of the related literature, with suggestions for further studies proposed.
