Methodological justification for ai-integrated steam education in the educational process for future professionals in the publishing and printing industry

Abstract

This paper examines the theoretical and methodological foundations for integrating AI into STEAM education for the training of future professionals in the publishing and printing industry. It demonstrates how combining the interdisciplinary STEAM approach with the modern capabilities of artificial intelligence can enhance the effectiveness of vocational education. The main principles of organising such training are outlined – integrity, practical focus, flexibility and a focus on innovation – and the pedagogical conditions for developing professional competencies in the field of digital publishing are defined. Particular attention is paid to the use of AI technologies in editorial and printing processes, specifically in design, typesetting, information processing and personalised learning. An approach to integrating artificial intelligence into the STEAM educational environment is proposed, which promotes the development of creativity, technical thinking and the capacity for innovative activity.
