APPLICATION OF THE STEAM METHODOLOGY IN INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

This article explores the possibilities of applying the STEAM methodology, which is widely used in modern education, within an inclusive learning environment. The main principles of inclusive education and the integrated features of the STEAM approach are analyzed. The paper examines methods for organizing the lesson process based on the individual needs of each student, project-based and role-playing learning methods, pedagogical support, and assessment criteria. In addition, an example lesson plan, methodological recommendations, potential challenges, and their solutions are presented. The results of the study indicate that the STEAM methodology in an inclusive setting not only enhances knowledge acquisition but also effectively develops skills such as creativity, communication, collaboration, and independent thinking.
