Design of a Lesson Plan in the Context of Stem Education for Prospective Primary School Teachers

Abstract

his paper explores the issue of organization and implementation of the educational process in the context of STEM education. The relevance of the research arises from the need to train students who are capable of implementing interdisciplinary integration in the educational process, to master the ways and methods of teaching through STEM, and to identify the possibilities for establishing interdisciplinary communication through common topics. The main goal of the study is to develop a lesson plan in the context of stem education for prospective primary school teachers. Stages of developing lesson plans based on STEM include the issue of teaching through STEM, analysis of school textbooks, use of digital resources, STEM lesson planning, and so forth. These actions culminate in the creation of STEM-based lesson plans. This workshop aims to integrate STEM elements, utilize PhET stimulations, and stimulate interest in science subjects. The results of the study demonstrated that students developed skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, cooperation, and interdisciplinary communication. The results of quantitative data during the study were analyzed as descriptive statistics
