Stem Approaches In Teaching Students To Design Electronic Learning Resources

Abstract

The present-day education system in a rapidly developing world requires educational process adjustments, the introduction of actual technologies that allow training professionals capable of creative thinking, and later to work independently, study, and apply the acquired knowledge in their work. The research aims to justify theoretically and carry out methodological analysis of later pedagogical technology introduction in the process within a higher education institution. The article deals with the theoretical study of scientific literature on the issue of research, generalization, a comparison, an observation, and a survey. The paper considers the constructivism, project-based, or real-world problem-based learning approaches used. It describes the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) learning approach, Authentic Learning, and 5E lesson planning model for teaching students to develop e-courses based on real problem solving, reviews the effectiveness of innovative technology and the influence on the quality of education. In the case of an e-course development class session, the results of the analysis show that the introduction of the STEM approach in learning contributes to the development of creative thinking, cooperation skills, teamwork, communication, critical thinking, and independent work. Thus, the application of this technology develops not only students’ domain expertise, but also their soft skills.
