“…According to Ormanci [46], the effect on environmental literacy is one of the most sought-after topics in contemporary doctoral theses in STEM education. According to Gatan et al [25], STEM offers ample opportunities for improving environmental literacy and engaging students in authentic experiences, giving them an active role in learning about environmental topics. Furthermore, it is environmental information that Gatan et al [25] propose to consistently integrate with different ways, making it meaningful and interdisciplinary.…”

The research purpose is to analyze how block‐based programming, introduced in parallel with classical school education, will be an effective tool for developing environmental awareness among students. The research proposes a well‐developed theoretical program on environmental literacy and a practical Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) project creating an eco‐house model with a weather station and alternative energy sources in a regular secondary school in Shanghai. The sample involved school students of the seventh grade, equally divided into two groups: the control group (learnt only a theoretical program) and the experimental group (learnt both a theoretical program and a practical STEM project). At the end of the school year, students passed an environmental literacy test. The differences between the control and experimental groups were statistically significant. The experimental group has the advantage in all parameters: it has the highest scores and a large number of students who showed a high and very high level of knowledge. The results prove the methodology effectiveness of the experimental group in terms of developing sensitivity to the environment, cognitive abilities, ecological analysis, and preserving the environment. It was found that overall academic performance correlates significantly with both test scores and project scores. The highest scores were for the project, which indicates the effectiveness of block‐based programming in the learning of the experimental group, their implementation of new ideas based on the acquired knowledge, success in decision‐making, and experience that went beyond previous achievements.

“…Modern STEM education is a combination of sciences, which is directed at developing new technologies, at introducing innovations, the basis of which is the training of engineering personnel. It is important to note that such an education system based on STEM will be effective only if it is properly managed, and its stable operation at all levels will be observed (Chanthala et al, 2018;Gatan et al, 2021;Goates et al, 2016;Menger, 2014;Parks et al, 2021;Raven, 2002;Segura, 2017;Shchedrovitsky, 1995;Shchedrovitsky et al, 1993;Skurikhina et al, 2018;Starcic et al, 2017;Valeeva & Valeeva, 2013).…”

The paper examines the STEM approach as one of the revolutionary tools for transforming education. This paper discloses the content of the concept of "STEAM-education", substantiates its importance and prerequisites for its appearance. The author elucidates a comparative analytical review of trends and prospects for the development of STEAM education in the Russian Federation. In this paper, the authors want to touch upon a comprehensive theoretical and methodological study conducted on the declared problem to identify the problem of the formation and development of the STEAM approach in the education system in the Russian Federation at all levels: general education, vocational education, and additional education. The object of this study was STEM education. The subject of this research was the STEM approach and STEM technologies in the system of general education, vocational education, and additional education. The methodological foundation of the study was the general scientific propositions on the holistic, systemic, and dialectical approaches to research, which made it possible to assess the totality of interrelated and interacting elements that form a certain integrity. The use of these approaches provided a comprehensive analysis and formulation of the research problem and determined the strategy for its study. The analysis of the current state of STEM and STEAM education in higher education in the Russian Federation suggests that it is necessary to stimulate the development of information and communication technologies in the country's education system in general, as well as to develop comprehensive programs for adapting STEM and STEAM approaches among the subjects of educational relations. In the context of modern global risks and challenges, the educational trajectory of development in Russia should be conceptually consistent with the new strategy in the field of natural science education adopted in the United States, "The Path to Success: American Strategy for STEM Education". Experts believe that through the practical implementation of STEM and STEAM technologies, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the quality of training for the purposes of the modern digital economic sphere. In this regard, the primary competences obtained in the higher education system in the areas of STEM and STEAM training should be cognitive, personal, and interpersonal competences, expressed in digital literacy, computational thinking, creativity, open mind, soft skills, and others. The concept of STEAM education in the system of higher professional education in Russia will ensure the transformation of ideas about scientific knowledge and build an innovative development process through the formation of skills in the field of exact sciences, linguistics, engineering, art, etc.

“…Besides that, gender effect on the application of a practical STEAM approach also being one of the consideration of determining the effectiveness of STEAM integrated approach. Meinck and Brese (2019) as well as (Gatan et al, 2021) claimed that gender effect do exist due to the education policy and teaching method implication. It is supported by Cimpian et al (2020) by acknowledging that gender inequality is getting obvious as the workforce is becoming male dominated.…”

“…Therefore, the STEAM integrated approach via Scratch was used to enhance problemsolving skills with CT in this research, and yet it is vital in educating new generations of students in the twentyfirst century. Indirectly, the high capability to solve problems attributes a high locus of control personality in students' lives, whereby students have high confidence in handling and solving power (Ergün & Külekci, 2019; Gatan et al, 2021).…”

This study examined the effectiveness of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) integrated approach via Scratch on five subconstructs of computational thinking (CT) among 29 male and 30 female students. A quasi-experimental design was employed in the research. The participants demonstrated the application of CT in designing games via Scratch during the intervention. The Computational Thinking Survey (CTS) was administered pre-CT and post-CT tests in measuring the five subconstructs of CT. Repeated multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) results showed that the intervention positively affected male and female students' comprehension concerning the five subconstructs of CT. The results were strengthened by the repeated measure of analysis of variance (ANOVA) with posthoc comparisons, indicating all five subconstructs of CT increased significantly (p < .05). Indirectly, this research introduced a new teaching methodology for students' CT level in the current electronic and technology-advanced era and increased concept manipulation capacity among male and female students.
