The readiness of future physics teachers for STEM education

The article is devoted to the study of awareness of students of higher educational institutions about STEM approach and what work related to this approach is carried out at the universities. Based on world experience, we know that this method provides an interdisciplinary approach to teaching learners of natural sciences in order to provide them with comprehensive and deep knowledge. One of the areas of STEM is robotics, which is already being implemented in schools, but has not yet received wide implementation in universities. The Ministry of Education of Kazakhstan promotes the acquisition of STEM classrooms and laboratories by schools and universities, and the Y. Altynsarin National Academy of Education has developed methodological recommendations for the implementation of the STEM method. Currently, classrooms, centers and laboratories of 3D modeling and robotics are being opened and introduced into the educational process in schools and higher educational institutions. Currently, with the support of the Chevron company, the educational organization "Caravan Knowledge" is engaged in the preparation of methodological instructions, the organization of STEAM video lessons, STEAM decade and conferences within the framework of the roadmap for the development of STEAM education for 2021-2025. This indicates that the STEM education is under development. In this regard, the article examines how much future teachers are ready to apply the STEM method in school.
