Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems and advantages of monitoring the implementation of STEAM-oriented educational environment in institutions of general secondary education; identifying criteria and indicators for its implementation; analysis of the state of development of STEAM-oriented educational environments in 2024 in Ukraine based on defined criteria. The approaches to monitoring the STEAM-oriented educational environment development for general secondary education are highlighted. The study showed that there is a significant interest of teachers, students, and other participants in the educational process in the implementation and development of a STEAM-oriented educational environment in general education institutions. The study identified gaps in the assessment of the effectiveness of the use of STEM education in Ukrainian schools through a series of surveys and studies, especially in the absence of a single approach to continuous monitoring. Therefore, the authors proposed criteria based on both international approaches and the peculiarities of the Ukrainian education system. The following problems were identified in the Ukrainian educational institutions: funding of STEAM projects; provision of general education institutions with modern laboratories, tools, means of virtual and augmented reality, and special classrooms; maintaining the motivation of teachers and students to participate in STEAM-activities. The article analyses the results of studies by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine as well as own studies carried out in 2022-2023 years. These studies have raised the issue of the effectiveness of the STEAM-oriented educational environment based on the point of view of Ukrainian teachers. The data revealed in the studies enhanced the identification of criteria that can be applied to the assessment of the influence of modern technologies on the educational process and the identification of the key factors contributing to the successful integration of STEM education in general secondary education institutions. The article aims to present the approaches and criteria for monitoring STEAM-oriented educational environments and analyse the challenges faced by Ukrainian secondary educational institutions nowadays.
