Abstract
STEM-education has become an important phenomenon changing the paradigm of education system. Developing STEM-education, makes it possible to respond to the existing and future challenges. The aim of the research was to evaluate the role of innovative techniques in development of STEM-education and to present the effective organization of STEM-based curriculum within the Ukrainian educational institutions. To answer the research questions, we applied qualitative research methodology (face-to-face interviews, observations, close-ended survey, written reports analysis) and the experts’ assessment to validate the quality and relevance of the findings. The results showed that a number of innovative techniques are applied, including project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, case-study, collaborative learning, peer learning, simulations, gamification, distance learning, blended learning, artificial intelligence supported teaching and Virtual Reality. Innovative techniques bring certain advantages for STEM-education and enhance the process of training of future STEM professionals. At the same time, it was found that the use of innovative techniques positively affects the development of STEM-education in Ukraine and helps to overcome the existing challenges such as improvement of STEM-based curriculum, reduction of costs and increasing the access to education, making the educational process more interactive, organization of professional development for instructors and prepare students to solve real-world tasks.
