Transdisciplinarity of vocational education in the context of STEM-teaching of physics / O. S. Kuzmenko, M. L. Rostoka, Y. V. Topolnik and others // ICERI2021 Proceedings. – Seville (Spain) : IATED, 2021. – Pp. 3711–3721.The innovative development of the educational and scientific field based on STEM education, in particular its professionally oriented environment, is determined by the principles of Industry 4.0. In the vector of the introduction of the methodology of a transdisciplinary approach to teaching physics and professionally oriented training of future aviation specialists, it is important to develop new methods of a professional orientation based on STEM technologies. The authors consider this problem as complex, which in the course of their research covers the justification of the relevance and feasibility of introducing STEM-approach (as a kind of transdisciplinary) in the educational process of higher education institutions using STEM technologies. Since, the solution of such problems, in particular the analysis of the specifics of physical phenomena and laws, which a priori are a fundamental part of mastering any profession, is impossible within a narrow discipline. The purpose of the research is to theoretically substantiate the professional teaching of physics based on STEM technologies in transdisciplinary professional education and to develop appropriate methods that will provide training subjects with their active cognitive-exploratory, independent activities. This, in turn, helps to improve the quality of vocational education. The concept of the research is the formation and development of STEM skills in future technical specialists in the process of teaching physics and outlines the principles of fundamentality based on transdisciplinarity of vocational education, taking into account the readiness of subjects to solve learning problems based on STEM technologies (3-D modelling, robotics kits, 3-D printing, augmented and virtual reality, etc.), which is now an important aspect for their training. Taking into account the purpose and hypothesis of the research, the authors used the following methods: theoretical (analysis of textbooks, manuals and publications that reflect the problem of research on STEM education and clarification of ontological and semantic connections in the context of the term «transdisciplinarity»; specific pedagogical: methods of teaching physics that contribute to the study of modern physical scientific positions and achievements, trends in the development of physics in technical institutions of higher education); empirical (diagnostic and sociometric methods) (observation, survey, content analysis) to determine the level of interest and activity of students in teaching physics and professionally oriented disciplines using STEM technologies); pedagogical experiment, experimental verification of methods of teaching physics and professionally oriented disciplines based on STEM technologies, taking into account the professional orientation of the content of education. The reliability of scientific results and conclusions is provided by: methodology of initial positions of research, conformity of research methods to its purpose, representativeness of the sample, various approbation of basic provisions of scientific research in pedagogical experiment and introduction of the developed technique of teaching physics and professionally oriented disciplines. acquisition of a profession), discussion of theoretical positions and concrete results of researches among like-minded people at various scientific and practical events (conferences and scientific seminars), application of a complex of research methods. The total number of participants in the experimental study is 532 students (including 254 control groups and 278 – experimental). The transdisciplinary strategy of this research is outlined in the following areas: improving the content and system of professionally oriented teaching of physics, taking into account the principles of the digital age; strengthening the connection between the teaching of physics courses and the professional orientation of students of higher professional education in non-physical specialities based on a transdisciplinary approach. The authors also emphasize the need to introduce comprehensive transdisciplinary research in the scientific and educational space based on the STEM approach and the implementation of the best results in the practice of vocational education.
