AB - The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference of elementary school general teachers' and special school teachers' perceptions toward STEAM education as the basic survey for the expansion of the STEAM education. For this purpose, a questionnaire was conducted targeting 269 general teachers and 73 special teachers working at the elementary and special schools in D city and using the SPSS 21.0 statistical program, the frequency analysis, the cross-analysis of the ratio, T-test, and one-way ANOVA were conducted. The major findings are as follows: First, there were the difference of perceptions between two groups about the information of STEAM education, the experience of actual application to class of STEAM education, and the training opportunities in STEAM education and the career working at research school. The teachers at the elementary schools had more information and experience than the teachers at the special schools. Second, two groups of teachers agreed to the need and the expected effects of STEAM education, and then there were no significant difference between two groups. They thought the STEAM education provide a new way of learning opportunities, and increase learning skills and learning interest. Finally, the two groups of teachers expressed the active participation in the training related to STEAM education. And with regard to the educational content of training they thought the class types and cases and the development of training materials much more important than a educational theory. As a result, we propose the study on the application method of STEAM education in the special schools and the strengthening of the training in STEAM education through the research on the educational experience of special teachers.
