MECHANISMS OF APPLYING STEAM TEACHING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE ARTISTIC AND AESTHETIC EDUCATION OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

Artistic and aesthetic education plays a vital role in the holistic development of preschool children, fostering creativity, emotional sensitivity, and imaginative thinking. In recent years, the integration of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) teaching technologies has emerged as an innovative approach to enhancing educational effectiveness in early childhood education. This study aims to identify the mechanisms of applying STEAM teaching technologies in the artistic and aesthetic education of preschool-aged children and to determine their pedagogical effectiveness. The research analyzes the impact of STEAM-based activities on children’s creative thinking, artistic expression, problem-solving skills, and aesthetic perception. The findings reveal that integrating art with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through interactive and project-based activities significantly enhances children’s aesthetic development and cognitive engagement. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of teacher guidance, a supportive learning environment, and interdisciplinary integration in achieving positive educational outcomes.
