This article analyzes the features of applying STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) technology in the modern education system, its pedagogical significance, and its role in developing students’ creative and critical thinking. The study highlights the integrative nature of the STEAM approach, its role in ensuring interdisciplinary connections, and its importance in combining theory and practice.

Furthermore, the article substantiates the possibilities of developing students’ problem-solving skills, independent thinking, creativity, and innovative competencies through the implementation of STEAM technology in the educational process. It is scientifically proven that this practice-oriented approach contributes to deep learning, the ability to apply knowledge in real-life situations, and the formation of teamwork skills.

In addition, the methodological foundations, pedagogical conditions, and effective methods of implementing STEAM technologies in preschool and primary education are discussed. In particular, ways of ensuring children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development through project-based learning, experimental activities, and play-based technologies are presented.

The research results show that the consistent implementation of the STEAM approach in the education system is an important factor in improving educational quality, developing students’ competencies, and forming competitive individuals adapted to modern society.
