Abstract

The article explores the essence of STEM education and the STEM-oriented approach in the modern information and educational environment. It highlights key components and aspects of the STEM education environment, emphasizing effective organizational forms for implementing a STEM-oriented approach. The study provides recommendations for transforming the information and educational environment in higher education institutions to ensure the effective implementation of STEM. It analyzes international projects supporting STEM education and reveals key principles for transforming the educational environment. The research also demonstrates the necessity of specialized equipment for this transformation. An experimental study was conducted to analyze the readiness of future specialists in natural sciences and mathematics to utilize STEM technologies in their professional activities. The results showed that the experimental group, exposed to a transformed educational environment, demonstrated significantly improved readiness compared to the control group. The study highlights the importance of transforming the information and educational environment in higher education to facilitate the effective application of STEM technologies in future specialists' professional activities.
