Abstract

This paper presents research findings on the current status of STEAM education competencies among final-year students majoring in early childhood education at Hong Duc University. Using a quantitative approach, the study surveyed 138 students on various aspects: awareness of STEAM, confidence in implementing STEAM activities, the level of knowledge and skills equipped, orientation and needs for STEAM competency development, as well as expectations for support from the university. The results show that students have a positive attitude, a relatively good understanding of the role of STEAM, and a strong desire for learning. However, their in-depth knowledge, practical skills, and confidence in implementing STEAM activities remain limited, mainly due to the lack of depth in the current curriculum. The paper proposes a set of comprehensive solutions to improve the quality of teacher training in response to educational innovation requirements in the present context.
