At Fukushima University, with the aim of building a next-generation education, “Fukushima-style STEAM education development” was adopted as a priority research area foR-F project research at Fukushima University in 2021–2023. It is in charge. This paper summarizes the background to the formulation of the Fukushima-type STEAM education evaluation index and the problems it presents. As a background to its formulation, I focused on the fact that there are various interpretations of Arts in STEAM education, and in particular that Japan’s Central Council for Education widely considers it to be liberal arts. Based on this, in the main points of the formulation, the basic abilities to be acquired were extracted from the viewpoints of today’s educational ideas discussed centered on OECD, precedent cases, research on creativity and the circumstances surrounding national universities in the region. On top of that, through the knowledge of the art field, which is the author’s specialty, the overall picture was summarized as a tree, and from there it was summarized into 25 evaluation items. Through this process, we sorted out the issues that need to be considered in the future.
