STEM-education, economic development type, institutional-economic model, national macro-system, GDPAbstract
The restoration of war-ravaged Ukraine’s infrastructure and the industrial complex on the post-Soviet economic system basis is non-perspective. Foreign experience demonstrates a close connection between economic development and education. These circumstances determine the relevance of studying the STEM education potential for the post-war Ukraine economic development type transformation. The research methodology is formulated by generalizing and synthesizing known scientific approaches. According to the national accounts systems, the GDP formation levels and the defining such levels elements that characterize their qualitative properties are determined. The economic development type is determined according to the coordinates of the national macro-system institutional-economic model. The approbation results of the proposed methodological approach are given in graphic form. The proposition that STEM education has a positive effect on economic development is theoretically substantiated. The practical experience of introducing STEM education to change the economic development type in Thailand and Ukraine is analyzed. The scientific statesmen’s task is to initiate a change in post-war Ukraine’s economic development type on an innovative basis. The educational scientists’ task is to develop and introduce STEM tools not only in general preschool and secondary education but also in professional and higher education in accordance with economic development programs.
