Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of the STEAM teaching method on ninth-grade students' understanding of kinematics concepts, including distance, displacement, and speed. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments, involving control and experimental groups. The sample included 30 male ninth-grade students from regular schools in Qaen during the 2023-2024 academic years, selected through convenience sampling (15 in each group). A kinematics test developed by the researcher was used for data collection. Both groups took a pre-test, after which the experimental group received STEAM-based instruction over five 60-minute sessions, while the control group experienced traditional teaching. A post-test was administered afterward. Data analysis utilized the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and analysis of covariance. Significant differences were found in the learning outcomes of the experimental group, confirming that the STEAM method is more effective than traditional methods (P < 0.05). The STEAM approach positively impacts student learning in kinematics, suggesting that educators should incorporate this innovative method into their teaching practices.
