ONTOLOGICAL MODELING OF THE TEACHER TRAINING PROCESS WITH ELEMENTS OF STEM EDUCATION

The article discusses the construction of an "Ontological model of the teacher training process with the integration of STEM education." The scope of ontological modeling of the teacher training process with elements of STEM education is determined by several factors. Firstly, in recent years, attention to STEM education (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) has been increasing around the world, as these areas of knowledge are key to the development of innovation and economics. Secondly, the development of information and communication technologies leads to the emergence of new teaching methods and educational models. Thirdly, the existence of an ontological model of the teacher training process with elements of STEM education can significantly facilitate the creation and implementation of individual educational programs. The implementation of the results of the study "Ontological model of the teacher training process with the integration of STEM education" in educational institutions and universities of the Republic of Kazakhstan will provide online support for the educational process, as well as organize collaboration and communication between students and teachers. The use of ontological engineering and the STEAM approach in the professional development of teachers will help in the development of curricula, assessment of their competencies, improvement of the quality of education and personalization of training.
