Abstract

The success of STEM implementation in primary and secondary schools is greatly influenced by the role and expertise of the teacher. In the Indonesian context, not many universities have STEM centers yet. This paper wants to describe the STEM education design for pre-service science teachers at Universities. The method used was a Focus Group Discussion from several researchers with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, and biology across universities. The results of the study show the importance of developing STEM education programs in certain subjects, applying STEM learning to pedagogical practices, open courses that specifically train, develop STEM teaching for pre-service teachers and build the STEM center. This study concludes the importance of an integrated program between preparing STEM education at universities and implementing STEM in the field.
