The purpose of this research is to examine the descriptive content of studies examining the views of teachers and pre-service teachers on STEM education in order to shed light on the future. The content analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used to examine postgraduate theses and scientific articles in this study, which is a qualitative study. To that end, the studies under consideration were subjected to descriptive content analysis based on the aim, research designs (method, study group, data collection tools, and data analysis), results, and recommendations. A literature review was conducted for this study using the keywords "view on STEM education," "STEM," "teacher candidate," "pre-service teachers," "opinion about STEM education", "attitude," and "awareness". Seven question titles were determined by examining 23 identified studies, and an attempt was made to answer these questions. The collected data were organized into tables, and their frequency distributions were calculated. According to the results of these investigated studies, it was seen that the highest frequency was belong to the teachers' and pre-service teachers' positive attitudes and views toward STEM. Based on the research findings, the following recommendations can be made: STEM activities can be implemented in teacher education programs to increase student interest in STEM education. STEM education can be included as a practicum in teacher education programs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
