In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of STEM applications on the scientific process skills and process performance of 6th grade secondary school students. Convergent parallel design, one of the mixed research designs, was used in the study. The sample of the study consists of 35 6th grade students studying at a public school in the district of Küçükçekmece, Istanbul in the 2018-2019 academic year. Three STEM lesson plans developed by the researchers were implemented for six weeks. Scientific Process Skills Test was used as a data collection tool in the quantitative part of the research. In the qualitative part, activity papers were used. While the data obtained in the scientific process skills test were analyzed using a statistics program, the activity papers were analyzed with descriptive analysis. As a result of the study, it was seen that science teaching supported by STEM applications positively affected the scientific process skills and improved the process performance of the students positively.
