Abstract
Introduction. The issues of training specialists in higher educational institutions with an established spiritual and moral value framework are becoming particularly relevant today. Changes in the methods and forms of nurturing work and, above all, its reorientation to the educational process should contribute to the answers to them. STEAM technology can become one of the tools for implementing changes in the educational process aimed at achieving not only educational, but also nurturing l goals. Purpose setting. The purpose of the study: a theoretical justification of the nurturing resource of STEAM technology in the formation of moral values of university students and a description of approaches to its implementation during the educational process. Methodology and methods of the study. The research methodology is based on the theoretical provisions of the integrative approach, which makes it possible to justify the integration of information from various subject areas in STEAM technology to achieve educational and nurturing goals, as well as methods of comparative analysis and generalization of the results of research by domestic and foreign authors in the field of pedagogy, neurology, psychology. Results. In the course of the research, the nurturing resource of STEAM technology is revealed, due to the integrativity of the educational process. The logic of nurturing STEAM-education is substantiated, which assumes two levels of integration: disciplinary and interdisciplinary, which contributes to the step-by-step inclusion of STEAM-technology in the educational process, providing for the work of students in the zone of immediate development and activation of the programming block, regulation and control of complex forms of brain activity. Conclusion. The use of STEAM-technology in the educational process contributes to the success and effectiveness in achieving educational goals for the formation of students moral values and a conscious national citizenship.
