The purpose of the study is to study the preparatory conditions for the STEM education approach of the teachers of science. For this purpose, the methods of study of quality have been used. The research data was collected from four women and six men’s teachers of science. The data was collected with the help of a structured interview form created by the researcher. The data collected to study the condition of preparation of teachers who are treated in three dimensions by cognitive, sensual and behavioral, were analyzed by two researchers by conducting content analysis. Research findings have shown that participating teachers have a lower level of preparation for the STEM learning approach in cognitive dimensions, while in sensual and behavioral dimensions more than in cognitive dimensions. All teachers have expressed their positive views on the STEM training approach. Only three of the 10 scientists who participated in the interview stated that they applied the STEM approach at least once in their classes, while the other teachers did not apply it. Four of the teachers said they felt ready to process the lessons in accordance with the STEM training approach, while six said they were not fully ready. In light of these findings, in order to support teachers’ preparation for the STEM training approach, education faculty sciences teachers’ training programmes may be recommended to add courses for the STEM training approach, and in new studies to be done, the design of qualified service-in-house training can be investigated the impact of these training on the preparation conditions.
