Abstract
Aim. The aim of the study is to determine the level of readiness of future science teachers to use the STEM approach in the educational process and to develop recommendations for the integration of relevant STEM tools into the educational process of Ukraine. Methods. The study involved the following methods: the focus group method, the two-phase survey, the accompanying survey, the variable impact method, and the statistical analysis. Results. Students majoring in natural sciences are poorly prepared for the integration of STEM tools. Students of the experimental subgroup became more ready to use STEM tools and developed a more structured vision of systemic issues. Comprehensive educational courses are an effective means of preparing future teachers for the integration of STEM tools in their future activities. Conclusions. STEM approach can be effectively integrated into teaching natural sciences through comprehensive educational courses and practical activities that develop the future teachers’ skills. Virtual laboratory technologies demonstrated the greatest effectiveness. Prospects. Prospects for further research focus on the need to verify the obtained results for a wider sample of future teachers of natural sciences and other majors of higher education institutions (HEIs).
