Summary/Abstract: This publication examines STEM education as an innovative and integrated pedagogical paradigm that unites science, technology, engineering, and mathematics within a common framework for developing 21st-century competencies. The study presents the conceptual and methodological foundations of STEM, analyzing key pedagogical models and current trends in implementing inclusive and technologically enriched learning. The aim is to clarify how the STEM philosophy is realized in educational practice through models such as the interactive pedagogical framework, interdisciplinary learning, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), artificial intelligence (AI), and professional learning communities. The research is based on a constructivist and systemic methodology, which perceives knowledge as being actively constructed through interaction, experience, and collaboration. STEM is not merely a teaching method but an educational philosophy focused on creating a learning culture grounded in inquiry, creativity, and innovation.
