Abstract
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) Education; Is an educational approach that many countries in the world have included in their curricula that allow learners to view the knowledge they learn in science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses, aiming at transforming theoretical knowledge into practice, product and innovative inventions. It is aimed to be able to adapt easily to the qualities of the business life thanks to these skills when the STEM trained individuals enter into the business world, as well as being an approach that is based on giving the skills of STEM education, production and invention. Within the scope of the study, attempts were made to investigate the initiatives and new trends of STEM education from 2010 until the day. Document analysis and thematic content analysis (meta-synthesis) method was used in the research process. Thematic content analysis; Analyze, synthesize and interpret the findings of more than one research on the same subject, with a critical point of view, in contrast to the theme or templates specified and raw data. During the research; Articles, theses, reports and reports which are reached from various sources in the national and international literature have been examined and a wide-scale resource has been created by considering every point related to the contents of the work. The results of the research were examined under various headings and a broad framework was established and recommendations were made.
Highlights
Efforts to acquire new and different information have always existed in human life
The articles included in the thematic content analysis were classified as engineering and design "MT1", chemistry and mathematics education articles "KM1" in the form of science education articles "FB1, FB2 ...", ranked according to subject areas and published years under the determined main themes
When we look at the main theme of MTJC, it is understood that there are 3 articles on this main theme, both articles were made in the field of science education, and 1 of them were made in the field of engineering and design education
Summary
Efforts to acquire new and different information have always existed in human life. With the development of technological developments in the 21st century, access to information has become easier and knowledge has begun to emerge as a new name. The fact that the basis of science education is based on inquiry has necessitated the establishment of more networks in order to increase the motivation and cooperation of the stakeholders (teachers, students, experts, parents, etc.). These obligations have led to the development of an educational approach centering on the needs of contemporary business life and creating new projects in the US and EU countries, which provide technical knowledge and skills to be delivered, make students a part of life instead of preparing them for life. STEM education, a new system for meeting the needs of the mentioned needs, has been developed and passed on to life (Gülhan & Şahin, 2016)
