Abstract
The work aimed to explore the scientific production and the thematic evolution of design thinking applied to education in STEAM. For this, the bibliometric approach was used to quantify the impact under the analysis of scientific mapping under a longitudinal framework with SciMAT. The results show a stability index of the research field of 58%, showing its gradual consolidation. This field emphasizes the topics of computational thinking, curriculum, educational innovation, human behavior in design, libraries, problem-solving, requirement engineering, system design thinking, systems engineering competencies, and user-centered design. The themes human behavior in design, and requirement engineering are the driving themes of the specialty for the period 2019-2022. In the same way, computational thinking and curriculum appears as a basic and transversal theme for the period (2019-2022), very fundamental in the STEAM areas. Therefore, the identified themes focus on conscious human behavior, interaction, and emotional involvement at the same time. Meanwhile, there is still limited discussion about human behavior related to STEAM areas.
