dc.description.abstractThis study focused on the professional development activities carried out at Sinop University during thesummer of 2015. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of the professional developmentprogram on the participating science teachers’ perceptions and competencies as they relate to STEMeducation. 24 science teachers were participated the program which was organized to promote theiracquisition of the competencies necessary for the development and implementation of original activitiessuitable for STEM education. The study was carried out through qualitative paradigm. One of the datasources used was to “Teachers’ Perceptions on STEM Education Questionnaire”. STEM educationteaching plans which were developed by teachers during the program were the other data sources used bythe study. Findings from the TPSEQ suggest that the professional development program positivelyaffected teachers’ views of STEM education. Additionally, after the professional development program,participating teachers made suggestions for the (engineering) design based science instruction for theadaption of STEM education. It can be suggested that in-service training programs should be developedfor teachers to raise their awareness of the necessity of STEM education and to enhance theircompetencies in planning, implementation and evaluation of an instructional process suitable for thisapproach.
