This article outlines the methodology and findings of a study on the implementation of STEAM technology. The study aims to assess the preparedness of geography teachers in the Zhetysu region of the Republic of Kazakhstan, working in secondary educational institutions, to integrate STEAM technology into geography teaching. The research methodology involves analyzing both domestic and international literature on the relevance and evolution of STEAM educational methodologies. Surveys were conducted, and responses were analyzed from geography teachers across 37 general education institutions in the Zhetysu region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study revealed that a majority of surveyed teachers prefer traditional teaching methods. Additionally, it highlighted a lack of proficiency among many teachers in utilizing STEAM technologies. As a result, there is a recognized need for the modernization and enhancement of the educational process, with a focus on interdisciplinary integration and skill development, which, alongside with appropriate training and retraining opportunities for geography teachers are crucial to improving the overall quality of education. These findings can serve as a basis for developing recommendations aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of geography education.
