Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the current state of research in relation to STEAM education for gifted students in elementary school. This study was conducted as a systematic review to analyze (1) how STEAM education is used for gifted students, (2) opportunities and challenges in this type of education, and (3) the impact of STEAM education implementation on the progress of gifted students. A search was conducted in reputative databases including Scopus, Web of Science, and Wiley for articles published from 2010 to 2023. After the initial screening steps, among the 634 extracted articles, finally 17 articles were selected according to the research criteria. In this review, various dimensions including methods, participants, data collection tools, and research fields have been examined. The results of the research reveal that STEAM education can play an important role in promoting the learning and ability of elementary gifted students, and despite various challenges, there are various opportunities to strengthen it in the future.
