This study was conducted to investigate STEM-related subjects’ teachers’ perceptions and implementations in American-system schools in the UAE. No research has been conducted in the UAE context on this topic. A mixed-methods approach was used to collect data; a questionnaire was developed to examine the perceptions and practices of STEM education for (144) in-service teachers of science, mathematics, and technology, then it was supported by interviews with some of the teachers. Data analysis was presented. Results indicated that STEM education is well-perceived by majority of teachers in UAE, STEM is implemented through project-based learning as a part of curricula or as an activity per month or per term, engineering concepts are presented while engineering practices are underrepresented, successful collaboration and well-informed understanding of disciplines’ core concepts are needed. In general; it was found that secondary and middle school teachers in the UAE showed positive perceptions and better implementing of overall STEM education than elementary school teachers.The British University in Dubai (BUiD)2018-06-11T07:59:25Z2018-06-11T07:59:25Z2018-02Dissertationapplication/pdf2015101115http://bspace.buid.ac.ae/handle/1234/1163enoai:bspace.buid.ac.ae:1234/11632021-12-19T13:06:11Z |
