Abstract

Integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education is a novel strategy to promote holistic learning experiences. In terms of road and traffic safety education for primary and secondary school students, this integration provides a complete framework for addressing the complexities of transportation networks and preventing accidents. This review paper examines the relationship between integrated STEM education and road/traffic safety, emphasizing its importance, obstacles, and possible influence. The paper is not a thorough evaluation of integrated STEM education, but it is well-referenced and should direct readers to more resources. The paper includes case studies and examples to help readers gain a better understanding of Integrating STEM into Road/Traffic Safety Education. © 2024, Aracne Editrice. All rights reserved.
