Abstract
For Ukraine in order to enter the trajectory of rapid and sustainable economic growth, further development of innovation transformations is necessary, in particular, in the field of education, based on modern world trends. The article deals with the actual problem of improving the system of engineering education, namely the new direction — STEM-STEAM-STREAM-education. The purpose of the research is to analyze the essence and content of STEM education, to identify the main problems and contradictions, to designate the main approaches to its development. The systematic, competence and personality-activity approaches became the theoretical and methodological basis of the research. Particular attention was paid to the complexity and versatility of STEM education, as a result of which, to address issues related to the lack of STEM literacy, various programs are developed in terms of type, direction and level of complexity. A brief description of the main approaches to the development of these programs is given; three key factors of education reform in the STEM direction are indicated. It is noted that all the leading countries of the world have published national reports containing recommendations on the implementation of the STEM education reform. Teachers also need to prepare for innovations in the education system and undergo retraining. The examples of the introduction of STEM-technology elements into the educational process for the formation of key professional, creative, social and personal competencies of students of the specialty 122 "Computer Science" of the Donbass State Engineering Academy are presented. The implementation of international educational projects TEMPUS "Development of courses on embedded systems with the implementation of innovative virtual approaches to the integration of science, education and production in Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia" and ERASMUS+ «Innovative Multidisciplinary Curriculum in Artificial Implants for Bio-Engineering BSc/MSc Degrees» [BIOART] helped to master modern learning technologies. These international projects were performed with the involvement of students.
