This article analyzes the role of STEM and STEAM technologies in developing the methodological competence of future teachers. Methodological competence is defined as an integrative professional quality that combines pedagogical knowledge, instructional design skills, digital literacy, creativity, and reflective capacity. The research is based on scientific literature published between 2010 and 2026. Competency-based, systemic, constructivist, and activity-oriented approaches were applied. The findings demonstrate that STEM and STEAM integration significantly enhances interdisciplinary thinking, innovative pedagogy, and digital methodological skills.
