Abstract

In this modern era, the importance of STEM in both instructors' and students' teaching and learning process has a lot of potentials. Like other developing nations throughout the world, Pakistan is in the early phases of incorporating STEM Education into the teaching and learning process at educational institutions. The study's primary focus is on STEM and the elements that influence the teaching-learning process. This was a descriptive research project. The study's sample included secondary school instructors. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 200 secondary school teachers. Data were subsequently analyzed using frequency and basic percentage statistical methods. The study's findings show that secondary teachers have a strong desire to understand the importance of STEM and how it may be integrated into the classroom. According to the results, education stakeholders should provide secondary teachers with the tools they need to maximize the benefits of STEM integrated learning and support secondary school teachers through training delivery. The study may suggest that the ministry of education allocate funding to the education department to promote and develop STEM integrated teaching and learning at the secondary level.
