THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE USE OF 3D MODELS IN TEACHING STEM DISCIPLINES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF 3D MODELS

Abstract

This article discusses STEM disciplines (biology, computer science). The relevance of the topic is due to the need to increase the visibility, interactivity and practical orientation of the educational process in the context of digital transformation. The advantages of using 3D models in teaching are analyzed: the development of spatial thinking, visualization of abstract concepts, activation of cognitive activity of students. Methodological aspects of the development and integration of 3D models into training courses are presented, as well as examples of their application in teaching physics, biology, computer science and engineering graphics. Special attention is paid to evaluating the effectiveness of the introduction of 3D technologies through pedagogical measurements and feedback from students. The results of the study confirm that the use of 3D models contributes to improving the quality of learning, the development of critical and engineering thinking, as well as the formation of practice-oriented competencies in STEM education
