REVIEW:
This article is devoted to studying the influence of the modern library environment on the quality of STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The authors emphasize that the library is not only a source of information but also an interactive educational and research space. The paper develops methodological foundations for effective use of library resources to enhance the learning process.
The authors applied systematic, analytical, and comparative research methods to analyze how the library environment supports STEM education. According to their findings, educational effectiveness depends on the harmony between four key components — resources, research opportunities, methodological support, and socio-cultural environment.
The study shows that using modern tools such as 3D printers, robotics kits, and virtual reality technologies in libraries helps students strengthen practical skills, develop research and creative thinking abilities, and prepare for professional socialization.
The proposed concept of a “laboratory-library” creates conditions for active learning, encouraging students to become independent researchers and creative thinkers.
Reviewer’s Opinion:
The article’s topic is relevant and has both theoretical and practical significance. The scientific analysis is consistent, the methodological framework is clear, and the conclusions are well-supported. The paper contributes to the integration of library resources into modern STEM education and offers practical recommendations for improving teaching quality.
The content can be valuable for educators, librarians, policymakers, and researchers interested in educational innovation and resource management.
Conclusion:
Overall, the article is well-structured, scientifically sound, and provides valuable insights into the role of the library environment in improving STEM education. It is therefore recommended for publication in a scientific journal.
