Use of STEM innovative methods in Chemistry lessons with the implementation of intersubject communications

Abstract

STEM is an integrated, interdisciplinary learning approach in which academic scientific
and technical concepts are studied in the context of real life. Within the framework of the installations
of this method, the student learns to find solutions to specific problems and create prototypes for new
mechanisms, techniques, programs.
The article describes a study aimed at establishing the effectiveness of the implementation of the
STEM approach in chemistry lessons in 8th grade as part of the updated content of education based on
the results of checking the progress of students. The results showed that the use of STEM technologies in
chemistry lessons had a positive impact on the academic performance of the participants of the experiment.
At the same time, it has been proven that the use of STEM increases the motivation of students to study and
understand the theoretical and practical aspects of the topic being studied. The application of the method
will also make it possible to establish strong links between school, society, work and the whole world,
contributing to the development of STEM literacy and competitiveness in the global economy.
