Modernization of the education system and the emergence of innovative learning technologies can improve the educational process. The use of augmented reality technology improves the learning of individual students, their motivation, as well as helps in organizing teamwork, group cooperation. As the topic of augmented reality in education is quite new and little studied for STEM education, the study reviews publications on this topic, describes the concept of augmented reality, the analysis of augmented reality technologies is carried out, which are adapted to the teaching of natural and mathematical disciplines. The role of STEM approach with augmented reality in the educational process is determined. An example of the use of augmented reality as part of a robotics project is given.

Cloud technologies being used in STEM education for providing robotics studying are highlighted in this article. Developing cloud robotic systems have not been used to their fullest degree in education but are applied by limited specialists’ number. Advantages given by cloud robotics (an access to big data, open systems, open environments development) lead to work with mentioned systems interfaces improving and having them more accessible. The potential represented by these technologies make them worth being shown to the majority of teachers. Benefits of cloud technologies for robotics and automatization systems are defined. An integrated approach to knowledge assimilation is STEM education basis. The demanded stages for robotics system development are shown and cloud sources which could be possibly used are analyzed in this article.

One of the most effective ways to implement STEM education in full secondary education is through research activities. It is implemented by performing certain projects. Professional activity of teachers of natural and mathematical disciplines in STEM education is aimed at the students’ mental, cognitive, and personal qualities formation and development. Their level determines the possibility of further mastering by students of a promising specialty STEM industry. It also involves the formation of the ability and willingness to solve complex problems, which is possible with the appropriate level of critical thinking, creativity, cognitive flexibility, teamwork, as well as the ability to implement research activities. In article determines the nature of the relationship between disciplines and the degree of integration. The place of project activity on robotics in school training is considered, describes the competencies that are formed as a result of such project activities. the possibility of teaching robotics to future teachers within the framework of existing curricula is also considered. The concept of STEM education has a broad interpretation: from a simple list of “exact” or “engineering” disciplines to inventive activity. In Ukraine, this area has become synonymous with scientific and research work: research and experiments. From this point of view, robotics is an effective means of developing STEM education. But this is a new tool and schools have a low level of interest in its study. Therefore, our article focuses on finding opportunities to implement the basics of robotics in education. The article formulated course requirements in accordance with the educational needs of the future teachers of science, mathematics and the level of technology development. The paper presents an example of project implementation in robotics, describes the stages of its implementation and achieved educational results.

This paper examines the issues related to the implementation of an educational process based on modern information technologies use. The main purpose of it is to achieve a significant level of individualization of the educational process, taking into account the individual characteristics and capabilities of each participant of the process. The implementation of the approach became possible at using elements of the theory of artificial neural networks in the educational process. Based on the network, it is possible to build a model of the educational process; it will significantly increase the control of the teacher on the educational process. Moreover, this network can adapt to a specific education task, the individual characteristics of the student and teacher. The mathematical model of the educational process using modern information technologies and neural networks is constructed. Their use is based on the developed criteria of successful execution of various stages of the educational process. Such criteria are designed for both the student and the teacher. The characteristic of participant’s activity of the educational process is considered in the work. A numerical interpretation of this concept is proposed.
