This article examines the pedagogical and psychological foundations of preparing future teachers for modeling STEAM-based learning environments in inclusive education settings. The study highlights the integration of inclusive education, STEAM methodology, and digital technologies as essential components of modern teacher education. Particular attention is given to the role of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model, and digital competence in developing professional readiness among future educators. A structural-functional model for preparing future teachers to design inclusive STEAM environments is proposed. The findings indicate that the effective use of digital technologies enhances professional competencies and contributes to improving the quality of inclusive education.
