The peculiarity of professionally oriented training of applicants for higher education based on STEM technologies is the need to take into account interdisciplinary connections as a manifestation of integrative processes of penetration of fundamental disciplines (physics), natural and mathematical knowledge into the cycle of subjects of professionally oriented training of students, which is provided not only by basic physical, mathematical and technical competencies of the 21st century but also by key methodological knowledge taking into account applied aspects. These connections play a leading role in improving the quality of professionally oriented training of future specialists. The purpose of the article is to determine the impact of innovative technologies of STEM education on the quality of learning of educational material through a physical experiment. The article experimentally substantiates the effectiveness of using the STEM approach when performing laboratory work to form the studied physical concepts in comparison with traditional teaching methods. It has been shown that the use of the STEM approach improves the level of assimilation of concepts in comparison with traditional teaching methods. In the case of using the STEM approach, the number of students with a high level of assimilation of concepts increases significantly, while the number of students with a low level decreases, which proves the effectiveness of using the STEM approach for the formation of high-level knowledge and skills. The article highlights the features of the formation of the STEM component in teaching in the innovative educational and scientific environment of the technical university, as well as the features of the teaching methodology taking into account STEM-learning technologies. It has been concluded that the use of the STEM approach significantly improves the level of assimilation of physical concepts in comparison with traditional teaching methods.
