Abstract

The effectiveness of the teaching and learning process, as well as the content of education, significantly improves the quality of learning models. Content that can be used to develop students' competencies contributes to effective and interesting learning, and one of the analogs of this approach is the use of STEAM. In addition, the integration of the course “STEAM in Alternative Energy Projects: Solar Energy” with STEAM-based education and English language learning will help to increase the interest of students. The purpose of the study is to develop creative thinking and deepen students’ research knowledge by studying the key topics of the basic physics course, with a focus on solar cells, in English. The study analyzes scientific papers to identify the features of teaching English using STEAM. Mathematical and statistical analyses were carried out using the survey method. The hypotheses were tested using G*Power software. As a result, the methodological features of teaching the course “STEAM in Alternative Energy Projects: Solar Energy” in English were revealed. It is shown that students can achieve significant success by mastering this course. The influence of STEAM on understanding the characteristics of solar cells, as well as on the formation of literacy and the development of engineering and research activities has been determined. The article demonstrates the effectiveness of teaching English in the educational system and the effectiveness of STEAM-based learning.
