Keywords:
STEAM education, integrative approach, creative thinking, competency-based education, innovative pedagogy, interdisciplinary integration.Abstract
This article analyzes the problems and existing opportunities that arise in students in the process of applying the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) educational approach in the higher education system. The study scientifically substantiates the pedagogical effectiveness of the STEAM approach as an integrative educational model, its impact on student competencies, and its role in the development of innovative thinking. Also, methodological, psychological, and technological barriers are identified and practical recommendations are developed to overcome them. The results of the study show that STEAM education is an important factor in strengthening creativity, critical thinking, decision-making in problem situations, and interdisciplinary integration.
