Abstract: This paper provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the relationship between Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) education and the Nature of Science. From the Web of Science platform, 8,546 articles were analyzed to address four key research topics: publication trends over time, primary academic fields contributing to research, geographical distribution of contributions and alignment of this research with the Sustainable Development Goals. The findings reveal a significant increase in the number of publications since 2020, indicating growing academic interest in interdisciplinary educational models. Technical fields such as Physics, Materials Science and Chemistry dominate STEAM research, with China and Japan leading global contributions. Additionally, this paper highlights the strong alignment between STEAM and the Nature of Science research and the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in addressing health, clean energy and climate action. These results offer valuable insights for researchers and policymakers in developing innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to education, which address global challenges.
