Abstract: The integration of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) in primary education is essential to equip students with critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities relevant to today's dynamic world. However, traditional STEM approaches often face challenges in sustaining young learners' engagement and nurturing their holistic development. This study introduces the "Narrative-Animation STEAM Enrichment Program" (NA-STEAM), a creative and interactive learning intervention aimed at enhancing primary students' cognitive and affective skills through storytelling and animation. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of NA-STEAM in developing creativity, writing skills, and interest in learning, alongside broader cognitive and affective outcomes such as motivation, engagement, and confidence. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection. Quantitative data were obtained through a survey completed by 78 primary school students, focusing on creativity, interest, and writing proficiency. Qualitative data were collected through classroom observations and interviews with selected students and teachers to gain deeper insights into changes in students' cognitive and affective engagement during the program. Findings reveal that students who participated in NA-STEAM showed significant improvements in creativity, writing abilities, and learning interest. Qualitative analysis further indicated growth in higher-order thinking, emotional engagement, and self-confidence. These results suggest that incorporating narrative and animation within STEAM education is an effective strategy to promote both creative expression and affective development among young learners, offering valuable implications for future curriculum design and STEM education initiatives.
