Özet:

The purpose of this research is to determine the opinions of the teachers of science about STEM from a certain variable point of view. The research was carried out by adopting a scanning model from quantum research patterns. The research work group consists of teachers of science who work in the Kayseri province and districts in the 2016-2017 educational year. The teachers involved in the study were determined by the sample method. To collect data in the study, the researcher used the "Made of Review of Teachers' Opinions on STEM" by the FEN Science Course. The scale relates to the use of STEM by the teachers of science participating in the research: Self-qualification, the contribution to the student status, the qualification of the school conditions and the subfactors of what is needed to improve. The analyses made have determined that the subfactors of the scale and the opinions of the teachers of science on STEM did not show statistically significant differences according to gender, education level and degree of learning; in contrast, according to the independent variable of service time, the opinions of the teachers of science with 16-20 years of experience on STEM were more positive. The research results show that the STEM education is already known by the majority of the teachers of science, and that this education is mostly heard from the sources of the National Education Ministry. However, it has been found that most of the teachers involved in the study have not previously received STEM training.
