Abstract:

STEAM education can improve after-school services of library, which is characterized by “interdisciplinary”, “situational”, “collaborative”, “design-oriented”, and “technologically enhanced”. The paper analyzes the practical cases of STEAM in library after-school services, and summarizes the impact of after-school time constraints and student knowledge structure on library STEAM education. Based on the impact, the paper constructs a “gradient” system of library STEAM after-school services, and then proposes the basic implementation path of STEAM education in China’s library after-school services.
