DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ RESEARCH COMPETENCIES IN SCIENCE CLASSES THROUGH THE STEAM APPROACH (ON THE EXAMPLE OF GRADE 6)
Keywords:
STEAM approach, research competency, science education, grade 6, project-based learning, modeling, hands-on activities.Abstract
This article presents methodological approaches aimed at developing research competencies in sixth-grade students through the implementation of the STEAM approach in science classes. As a core component of STEAM, the integration of biology, physics, geography, mathematics, and technology subjects is emphasized. The study analyzes how project-based learning, hands-on experiments, modeling, and differentiated assessment contribute to the formation of students’ skills in scientific inquiry, observation, analysis, and drawing conclusions. Furthermore, the effectiveness of this approach is evaluated based on experimental trials conducted in real classroom settings.
