The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of design based STEM activities on pre-service science teachers’ problem solving skills and integrated STEM teaching intentions. A total of 24 third grade pre-service science teachers who are enrolled in a mid-size public university in Aegean part of Turkey participated in the study. The study is designed as one-group pretest and posttest design. The data were collected by Problem Solving Skills, Integrated STEM Teaching Intention Questionnaires and laboratory sheets. The questionnaires were administrated as pre- and post-test before and after implementation of design based STEM activities in Science Laboratory Applications I course. The results revealed that design based STEM activities improved pre-service science teachers’ problem solving skills and integrated STEM teaching intentions. Based on these results, suggestions for introducing design based STEM activities into teacher education programs were provided.
