Abstract

The modern integration of digital technologies into the educational process requires additional study, given the opportunities that this process opens up. The purpose of the article is to study the use of digital technologies in STEM education through the prism of researching the main challenges and prospects. To achieve this goal, the methods of questionnaires and interviews were used. In particular, 65 teachers of higher education institutions were interviewed, whose opinions became the basis for forming a generalised picture of the study. The results show that modern teachers actively use digital technologies in STEM education. The average level of digital technology use among STEM teachers is high: 43 people (65%) use technology at grade levels 4 and 5. However, this intensive use of digital technologies in STEM education raises both challenges and opportunities. In particular, today's teachers often face limited access to the necessary technical infrastructure, which can limit their ability to implement digital tools. Poor quality of internet connection can affect the smoothness and efficiency of using online resources. Insufficient training of teachers in the use of digital technologies is also a significant challenge. Increasing the availability of digital resources for teachers will make learning more accessible and diverse. Cooperation between universities and technology companies also opens up new opportunities for the development of STEM education. The conclusions emphasise that such interaction facilitates the exchange of experience, access to advanced technologies and resources, and creates conditions for the implementation of joint projects and programmes.
