Tóm tắt

The general education curriculum, issued by the Ministry of Education and Training in 2018, is being implemented with many advantages in integrating STEM education into subjects and topics. This helps develop students' skills and qualities. STEM education is also a growing trend in many countries around the world. However, there are still different ways of understanding STEM education, leading to various approaches in applying it. In developing countries like Vietnam, challenges such as economic limitations, lack of facilities, and teachers' skills need to be addressed. To apply STEM education effectively and consistently, it is important to have a clear understanding of the STEM model, especially among educators and future teachers. This article presents a survey of education students at the Faculty of Pedagogy in Natural Sciences, Dong Thap University. The aim is to find a common understanding of STEM education, providing a practical basis for improving STEM teaching methods and enhancing teacher training quality.
