This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of using STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) technology in preschool education institutions. The study focuses on assessing the development of children’s creative, critical, and logical thinking skills, their ability to solve problems independently, and the formation of social skills. Using experimental and observational methods, tests, interviews, and questionnaires, the participation of children in STEAM activities was evaluated. The results are presented according to age groups, illustrated with tables and visual representations.
The article also highlights the importance of the STEAM approach in optimizing pedagogical processes in preschool education, supporting children’s individual development, and preparing them for the modern educational system. The study findings provide educators, parents, and education professionals with guidance on effectively implementing STEAM methods [1], [2].
