Improving educational process quality in the lessons of natural and mathematical cycle by means of stem-training

Abstract

Currently, significant changes that actively take place in modern Russian society affect all spheres of its development. Today, due to economic globalisation and high rates of innovative technologies development, special attention is paid to the education system, where profound changes occur. Today, the educational process is focused on the development of personal characteristics that meet the requirements of a modern educated person. In this regard, the task of educational institutions is to adopt the educational process to today’s realities. To achieve this goal, STEM education is implemented. It helps children to delve into the logic of the events, understand their relationships, systematically explore the world and thereby generate curiosity, engineering style of thinking, the ability to get out of critical situations, to develop teamwork skills and learn the basics of management and self-presentation, which, in turn, provides a fundamentally new level of personal development.
