XXI Century Key Competences and Skills’ Development Through the Prism of Stem Education

Abstract

Сontemporaneity requires the transformation of
learning into an exciting process, the development
of learners’ research skills and the training for the
professional future. Society, science and technology
development constitute the education system before the
need to use new tools, forms and methods of teaching.
According to the new educational strategy, the school
should guide children to learn difficult material through
play, finding creative solutions, creativity and ingenuity.
In search of activities that will help to interest children
in science, information technology, we master STEM.
We see in STEM-education, an acceptable alternative,
thanks to which students, combining a given activity
with Internet resources, can join research and creative
activities, develop skills and abilities. The article
offers a simple combination of information technology,
mathematics and art. Familiarity with new trends in
education: Qr-code, AR, VR, electronic educational
resources and deepening knowledge in STEM. We
create conditions for the practical application of the
acquired knowledge, which give an opportunity to show
their creativity – electronic laboratories, making and
engineering. Pay attention to the involvement of girls
in STEM. We provide opportunities for development
and communication in the field of science. Involvement
in research and creative activities, which helps to
develop skills and deepen knowledge in STEMsubjects, is considered. The article contains examples
of implementation from experience. The first results of
successful involvement of young people, which allowed
to improve the conditions for young researchers, are
presented. Increasing not only the level of interest in
studying STEM-subjects, but also increasing success.
Formation of an active life position and orientation in
future activities for children. Strengthening ties with the
community and developing the prestige of the institution.
