Recent scientific works have shown that students’ interest in physics is declining. Given the importance of physics in the development of science and technology, it is obvious that a reduction in the number of specialists in this field causes concern in the economy of any country. Therefore, at present, the organization of advanced STEAM experiments and the effective use of STEAM educational software are becoming increasingly important in the education systems of developed countries. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of using the STEAM project method, integrative scientific and technological, engineering, art, and mathematical education (STEAM), on the development of interest among students in the field of physics. The study was attended by 212 second-year students from Kazakh-Turkish University named after Khoja Ahmed Yasawi and South Kazakhstan University named after M. Auezov. Research work was carried out in both groups during the training of the course "Alternative energy sources.” In the control group, this course was taught in a traditional way, and in the experimental group, classes based on STEAM projects were conducted. The educational process continued for 15 weeks. Pre-and post-participation calculations, especially surveys and progress calculations, are used to create student scores. The results of the study indicate that STEAM products developed by the authors together with students and used in the educational process are effective. The increase in progressive results in the observation of the physics parse was high, and the progressives were included. Student relationships in physics increased by 35% in the experimental group compared to the previous 10%. Through the implementation of the STEAM projects, it was noticed that students’ interest in physics increased significantly. This article presents STEAM educational resources and materials developed by the authors and recommendations for their use in the educational process. © 2024, Qubahan. All rights reserved.
