A Study on Interdisciplinary Creative Teaching for Outdoor Adventure Learning Blended into STEAM

Outdoor adventure education, blending interdisciplinary knowledge, boosts student engagement, cognition, and professional skills, gaining popularity. This paper examined STEAM integrated with the“Diving, Ocean Culture, and Leisure Exploration”(DOL) course. DOL is a demanding 18-day, 6-credit program with recreational, cultural, and oceanic components that aims to improve diving proficiency and broaden ecological awareness. Data from 14 students were analyzed using the mixed research method, which demonstrated the value of STEAM integration and outdoor adventure learning in higher education. However, limited sample sizes constrained the generalizability of quantitative findings, highlighting the importance of larger samples, diverse activities, and increasing schedules. Educator focus on interdisciplinary skills is recommended. This study provides practical insights for optimizing student learning outcomes through outdoor adventure education, STEAM, or their fusion in academia.
