Abstract. The time and context in which today's students live and learn are complex and dynamic. Pedagogical methods and approaches that gave good results yesterday are insufficiently effective today. It is imperative to combine working models with innovative educational technologies based on the integral and constructivist approach, to upgrade and enrich pedagogical practice with educational methods, approaches and tools adequate to the requirements of the time. This article examines the role of project-based learning and problem-based learning in STEM subjects for the formation of the key competencies and soft skills necessary for successful personal, social and professional realization. The holding of a Science Fair in the Second English Language School is brought out as a good practice and
its role is emphasized in increasing the motivation of students for achievements
in the field of natural sciences, as well as for their professional orientation in this
direction.
