The fundamental difference between the STEM-oriented approach to learning from traditional educational models in focusing on everyday life, real problems. This approach involves, on the one hand, ensuring the integrated formation of scientific and practical knowledge through the acquisition of authentic practical experience (personal aspect), and on the other – preparing students for further study (lifelong learning) and employment in accordance with the requirements of XXI century (social aspect). The leading idea of STEM-oriented approach to learning is the design of subjects, disciplines, courses on an interdisciplinary basis (integrated learning, according to certain topics, not individual disciplines), which allows to comprehensively form key professional and socio-personal competencies of youth. Such an integrated approach is natural and appropriate when solving a real problem. A chain of logical questions is built: «What is it?», «How to deal with it?», «How and what to improve?», «How to present it clearly?», during the answer to which there is a combination of scientific method, technology, design and mathematics on the principle of interdisciplinary. Depending on the ultimate goal of learning, the appropriate option of interdisciplinary integration is chosen, taking into account that from the point of view of philosophical principles STEM-oriented approach to learning is a methodological unity of natural, technical and social sciences, which is manifested in the application of common mathematical apparatus, communication technologies, modeling and interdisciplinary interaction, as well as the use of the latest educational technologies: cognitive, social and knowledge transfer.
