D-STEAM LABORATORY DESIGN: A SYSTEM-ALGORITHMIC MODEL FOR PROGRAMMING COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
Today, the development of algorithmic and programming competencies has become one of the priority areas in the educational environment. Recent studies indicate that the formation of algorithmic thinking significantly increases the effectiveness of programming education [1–2]. The reviewed research also demonstrates that interdisciplinary integration based on the STEAM approach enhances learners’ competencies in problem modeling, systems thinking, and the development of creative solutions [3–4]. Furthermore, educational processes organized through robotics, virtual laboratories, and interactive coding environments have been shown to produce high results in strengthening algorithmic skills [5].
