TEACHING BIOLOGY WITH STEM TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

It goes without saying that it is important for today's young people to pass on knowledge
in close contact with life (R., July 2008). The pace of intensive development of the agrarian and
industrial era subsided, and it was replaced in a short time by the era of new technology and
information. Science and education have always served to improve the quality of human life, and
as science develops, the quality of life increases, and the knowledge gained yesterday remains
unrealized today (Савенков, 2008). And it is not surprising that the knowledge gained today will
not be valid tomorrow. Behind any success lies great creativity, independent work. Therefore, the
best lesson will be if the student works harder than the teacher in the lesson. (Barab S., 1997)
getting students to work hard on their own is not an easy task, so every subject teacher should
contribute to this by using the research and optimal methods developed in this direction.
The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) method of Education, which is the
basis of our research, is one of the methods of teaching a child skills and research. The STEM
method is aimed at developing universal skills of the XXI century (4K-critical thinking, creativity,
communication, teamwork) in the process of solving subject and interdisciplinary problems, that
is, solving in pairs or groups with a functional distribution of roles, helps to develop teamwork
and communication skills. The proposed task and material allow you to develop skills in working
with information, critical thinking. (Stebbins, M., 2019) in this study, we intend to demonstrate the
role and path of development of this educational system in Kazakhstan by identifying the issues of
importance in it by differentiating STEM and traditional methods of Education.
In addition, we will consider the features of the construction of educational tasks and
teaching biology in primary, basic and general secondary education using the STEM education
system within the walls of the school.
