Abstract
The classroom action research was aimed to 1) compare the academic achievement on the purification topic of grade 8 students and 2) compare their problem-solving skills after learning through STEAM education integrated with the Miro application in the science classroom at Yothinburana 2 (Suwansuttharam) School, Bangkok, Thailand. The sample group was 28 grade-8 students selected by purposive selection based on their academic achievement. The research tools were 1) STEAM education with the Miro application lesson plans, 2) an achievement test and 3) problem-solving skills test. The statistics tools used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples. The results indicated that grade-8 students had significantly higher academic achievement after learning through STEAM education integrated with the Miro application at a .05 statistical level. Their problem-solving skills were significantly higher than before learning through STEAM education integrated with the Miro application at a .05 statistical level as well and they showed a high improvement in their problem-solving project on the new way of natural tie dye clothes as one of the innovations. Future study it should focus on using this STEAM education for other subject areas and at different levels.
