Abstract

The ideas of the constructivist paradigm of education continue to develop in the XXI century. In this context, the STEM approach is being implemented very dynamically for the formation of curricula of formal and non-formal education institutions. At the same time, M. Montessori pedagogy educational centers remain popular in Ukraine. Based on the use of web mapping service Google Maps, the authors searched, identified and quantitatively analyzed the distribution of educational institutions in Ukraine that use the STEM-STEAM-STREAM approach and methodological tools of M. Montessori pedagogy. The results of data processing are presented in the form of author's maps and diagrams, which indicate the number of Montessori pedagogy centers and STEM-STEAM-STREAM training centers for each region. Based on the data of the official websites of educational institutions, an analysis of the content and organization of some Montessori centers in Ukraine was carried out that is demonstrated by means of examples. To obtain a conclusion about the state of development of pedagogical technologies the method of Gartner Hype Cycle is used. Comparison of the principles of pedagogy M. Montessori and STEM approach to education reveals many common didactic features based on the ideas of constructivism in education. In particular, we want to note the features of active interaction of subjects of the educational process, the development of curiosity, change of the teacher functions.
