The current study aimed to identify the effectiveness of a proposed program to develop the professional and academic performance of science and mathematics teachers in the light of the entrance to the integration between science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), by preparing a list of requirements for building a proposed program for science and mathematics teachers in the light of STEM education, and from Then building the proposed program based on these requirements, and the researchers used the descriptive analytical approach to describe and analyze research and studies related to the study problem and prepare the proposed concept for the training program, and the study reached a list of professional and academic development requirements for science and mathematics teachers in the light of (STEM) divided into four main axes In light of these requirements, a proposed conceptualization of the program was built, and the program was implemented through a note card to know its effectiveness, and the study found that there are statistically significant differences at the level of (0.01≥ α) between the average scores of science and mathematics teachers in the post and pre-implementation applications of the professional performance note card And the academic of the study sample group in favor of the post application.

In this study, the opinions of middle school science teachers and mathematics teachers towards STEM education were examined. The research was carried out for 30 hours with 28 middle school science and mathematics teachers who were working in Istanbul during the spring semester of 2016-2017 academic year. 75% of these teachers are female teachers and 25% are male teachers. The study was conducted by the case study method among qualitative research methods. For the determination of the opinions of the secondary school science and mathematics teachers by the researcher, "STEM Interview Form for Teachers" consisting of 8 questions was created. As a result of the analysis, the teachers emphasized that they did not feel sufficient about STEM education. In addition, teachers emphasized that a good STEM teacher should have STEM knowledge, pedagogy knowledge and 21st century skill knowledge. However, they emphasize that STEM education is a useful educational concept but that there may be problems that may be encountered during STEM education. Moreover, it was also found that after the STEM training, teachers had positive changes in their opinions towards Engineering and Technology. Suggestions have been made in the direction of these obtained results.

The effect of one of the most popular 3D visualization and modelling technologies with haptic and touch feedback possibilities—augmented reality (AR)—is analysed herein. That includes a specific solution, incorporating augmented reality. A case study for delivering STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) content using this tool at one secondary school in Sofia is presented. The experience gained in one school year of using facilities for a STEM enrichment program has been examined.
