Pedagogical Possibilities of Project-Based Collaboration in Career Guidance For Schoolchildren Based on The STEAM Approach

This article presents a theoretical and analytical review of current research devoted to the pedagogical potential of project-based collaboration in career guidance for schoolchildren based on the STEAM approach. The relevance of this topic lies in the fact that traditional career guidance, focused primarily on informing students about professions, is proving insufficient in the context of the technologization of education, the expansion of interdisciplinary professional fields, and the growing importance of project-based, communication, and research skills. The source material includes research conducted between 2020 and 2025 on STEAM/PBL, integrated STEM, career awareness, STEM/STEAM interest, educational technologies, and project-based activities. Analysis shows that project-based collaboration in a STEAM environment serves not only an organizational function but also a career guidance function: it transforms students from observers to participants in professionally significant activities.
