MODERN APPROACHES TO THE METHODOLOGICAL TRAINING OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN THE CONTEXT OF STEM TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the study of modern methodological approaches that contribute to the preparation of teachers for the successful use of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) technology in curricula. The relevance of this topic is due to the need to train teachers who are able to integrate interdisciplinary knowledge into the process of teaching mathematics, which is especially important in the context of globalization and digitalization of education. The study used methods of analyzing educational programs and testing the effectiveness of the implementation of STEM methods. Evaluation of the effectiveness of approaches was based on a comparative analysis of the test results before and after the implementation of STEM methods. The study shows that the use of integrated approaches in teaching mathematics contributes to improving academic results and developing critical thinking in students. These data are of significant theoretical and practical significance for improving the training of teachers. The main results of the article showed that the introduction of interdisciplinary teaching methods increases the level of perception of educational material, contributes to the development of critical thinking and skills in solving practical problems. The practical implications include informing the design of inclusive teaching practices and targeted academic support initiatives.
