FORMATION OF STUDENTS' CRITICAL AND CREATIVE THINKING SKILLS THROUGH STEAM TECHNOLOGIES
Abstract
The article examines the theoretical and pedagogical foundations of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) technology within the modern educational paradigm. It provides a scientific analysis of the role of interdisciplinary integration in developing students' critical thinking, creativity, and engineering skills. The content of the STEAM components is detailed, and their connection to the constructivism theory of J. Piaget and L.S. Vygotsky is substantiated. The research focuses on the formation of a new type of intellectual personality capable of applying theoretical knowledge to solve practical and innovative engineering tasks
