The demand for professionals entering the labor market requires knowledge and disciplines in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM). Schools are the first link to train competent students for today's society. However, the pandemic has conditioned the teaching-learning methodologies based on promoting STEAM in educational centers, which is the reason that leads us to carry out this study. The main objective of the research is to evaluate the STEAM dimensions in the sixth grade of primary education in times of pandemic. The study method is based on a quasi-experimental, descriptive and correlational design with an experimental group and a control group. The data are collected through a validated questionnaire, pre-test and post-test, which develops an assessment of student collaboration in STEAM activities. The sample is made up of 142 Spanish students, of which 68 belong to the control group and 74 to the experimental group. The conclusions of the study highlight that the active methodologies, based on computational thinking and on makerspaces of the future classroom, influenced the STEAM dimensions of the experimental group before the pandemic. However, the pandemic and the health restrictions in face-to-face classes led to a negative assessment of the experimental group in the STEAM dimensions.
劳动力市场对专业人才的需求要求具备科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学（STEAM）领域的知识和学科素养。学校是为当今社会培养有能力的学生的首要环节。然而，疫情对教育中心基于推广STEAM的教学方法产生了影响，这就是我们开展这项研究的原因。该研究的主要目的是评估疫情期间小学六年级的STEAM维度。研究方法基于准实验、描述性和相关性设计，设有实验组和对照组。数据通过一份经过验证的问卷、前测和后测收集，该问卷对学生在STEAM活动中的协作情况进行评估。样本由142名西班牙学生组成，其中68名属于对照组，74名属于实验组。研究结论强调，基于计算思维和未来课堂创客空间的主动教学方法，在疫情之前对实验组的STEAM维度产生了影响。然而，疫情以及面对面课程中的健康限制导致实验组在STEAM维度上的评估结果不佳。
