INTEGRATING STEM AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN TEACHING NANOTECHNOLOGY TO PROSPECTIVE PHYSICS TEACHERS

This article analyzes the pedagogical possibilities of integrating STEM-educational methodologies and artificial intelligence technologies in the teaching of nanotechnology to future physics teachers. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for a new organization of teaching physics in the conditions of rapid development of science and technology. The goal is to identify innovative approaches aimed at improving the professional competence of future teachers, developing their research skills and increasing the level of digital literacy.

The research methods used were a review of scientific literature, comparative analysis, observation of pedagogical practice and a survey. As a result, it was found that STEM-projects and artificial intelligence tools (virtual laboratories, intelligent testing systems, adaptive learning platforms) increase students' interest in the subject and facilitate the mastery of complex nanotechnological concepts. In addition, it was noted that this approach develops creative thinking and research competence of future teachers.

During the discussion, along with the advantages of this method, some limitations were also highlighted: insufficient material and technical base, the level of teachers' mastery of new technologies, the complexity of integration into the curriculum. In conclusion, it was proven that the integration of STEM and artificial intelligence is an effective way to improve the professional training of future physics teachers. This direction allows for the formation of an innovative model in pedagogical education that meets modern requirements.
