The acronym STEM stands for the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. When looking from the past to the present, it has been observed that there has been an increase in STEM studies. However, there was no study which was conducted on STEM education in Turkey mostly consisted of studies which aimed at determining the interests, attitudes and achievements of students and prospective teachers, and there was no study on the relationship between students'tendencies to technology in STEM education and their STEM perceptions. It is necessary for societies that can rapidly keep up with developing technology and innovations Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between the perceptions of secondary school students towards STEM fields, determining their attitudes towards technology, students' attitudes towards technology and its use in lessons, and the total perception levels of STEM fields and sub-dimensions. The study was completed in the fall semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. The data of the study were analyzed by quantitative survey model. In the study, ‘Attitude towards Technology Scale’ and ‘STEM Perception Scale’ were used as data collection tools. In the tests applied, the data were analyzed using the Independent Sample t-test, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Analysis and Regression Analysis. According to data analysis and findings, it was determined that there was a moderately significant negative relationship between the students' attitude level towards technology, and the STEM perception level. In the light of the findings, the importance of STEM education was emphasized and recommendations were made to program designers, researchers and practitioners on this subject.\u003Cbr>Keywords: STEM, technology, attitude, perception. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding author.

It has become a necessity for countries to follow the developments which make them prosperous in order to have a dominant role in world affairs (Cooper and Heaverlo, 2013; Kennedy and Odell, 2014) . In our age, societies are in a constant race in technology and  \nscience. Countries realize their development and growth through the advances in science and technology (Fletcher, 2017 ; Tewari et al. , 2018) . Future scientists, technologists and engineers are vital to keeping countries' economies afloat (Denton et al. , 2021; Scott, 2009) . Since education develops a country's economy and society, it is important that education programs closely follow the developments in science and technology (Carin and Bass, 2001; Federal Science,  \nAfr Educ Res J 740  \nTechnology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education: 5-Year Strategic Plan, 2013; NRC, 2015) . It has become a necessity to follow and implement current and different programs in order to raise individuals who think, produce and interrogate. In this context, developed countries attach importance to increasing the number of qualified individuals working in science, technology, engineer","cbCaisHDzohKIrSS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisHDzohKIrSS","pdf",334966,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What was the study’s main aim regarding STEM education in Turkey?\",\"answer\":\"To examine the relationship between secondary school students’ STEM-field perceptions and their attitudes toward technology and its use in lessons.\"},{\"question\":\"Which data collection tools and statistical methods were used?\",\"answer\":\"The Attitude towards Technology Scale and the STEM Perception Scale were used, and data were analyzed with Independent Sample t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"What key relationship did the findings show between technology attitude and STEM perception?\",\"answer\":\"A moderately significant negative relationship was found between students’ technology attitude levels and their STEM perception levels.\"}]","Investigation of secondary school students' attitude towards technology and their STEM perceptions - Full Length Research Paper | PDF",1792071130,35]
