Development and Application of STEAM Program for Mathematical Inquiry based on Conical Anamorphosis

Objectives The purpose of this study is to develop a mathematical inquiry-based STEAM program based on conical anamorphosis and to implement it to high school students. Methods To do this, the 2015 revised curriculum and the literature about the mathematical modeling of conical anamorphosis was analyzed, and the STEAM program was developed based on the PDIE model. Results In the preparation stage, mathematics, science, technology/engineering, art curriculum, and literature of the conical anamorphosis was analyzed. In the development stage, activity sheets, and presentation materials for the STEAM program were developed. The STEAM program was applied to high school students in the implementation stage, and the program was analyzed based on the questionnaire in the evaluation stage. Conclusions The STEAM program based on conical anamorphosis was related to achievement standards in mathematics, science, technology/engineering, and art subjects. Through the STEAM program, students were given the opportunity to explore the conical anamorphosis mathematically, and the STEAM program was able to help students increase their problem-solving and creative·convergence capabilities.
