MILANOVIĆ, Andrijana Ž. MILETIĆ & Olivera D. CEKIĆ  \nJOVANOVIĆ  \nAbstract: The aim of the research concerns the attitudes of parents towards teaching subjects from the STEM field (mathematics, the world around us/nature and society and the digital world) in the first cycle of primary education. A total of 129 parents participated in the research. Parents are mostly familiar with the teaching and learning program of the subject mathematics, the world around us/nature and society and the digital world, while mothers are more often familiar with the teaching and learning programs of the mentioned subjects from the STEM field. Parents' responses range from undecided to agreement with the items that describe that the contents of the subjects are mathematics, the world around us/nature and society and the digital world are fun, while the parents' responses are slightly more positive that the subjects are mathematics, the world around us/nature and society and the digital world applicable in everyday life. The results show that it is necessary to inform parents more about the possibilities and importance of STEM teaching subjects. Future research can be directed towards ways of involving parents in the school system in order to be informed about STEM subjects and the possibilities for their implementation.  \nKey words: parents, STEM, subjects, teaching, primary school.  \n1. Introduction  \nThe Council of the European Union, as one of the eight key competencies for lifelong learning, states and ”mathematical competence and competence in science, technology and engineering“(The Council of European Union 2018, p. 7). The mentioned competence is an integral part of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) discipline and represents ”one cornerstone of current educational research and practice“ (Schiefer, et al., 2017, p. 447) . It is the subject of numerous researches that highlight the benefits for both individuals and society. The authors state that the STEM concept encourages problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and analytical thinking (Brown, et al., 2011; İdin & Dönmez, 2020; Ceylan & Akçay Malçok, 2020; Hacıoğlu & Gülhan, 2021; Minarti et al., 2022), and ”innovation and literacy depend on a solid knowledge base in the STEM areas, and most jobs of the future will require a basic understanding of the sciences, technology, engineering and math“(Barcelona, 2014, p. 865) . Also,”continued prosperity and progress in the global marketplace depended on the education community’s ability to prepare the future generation of STEM professionals“(Roehrig, et al., 2021, p. 2).  \nAlthough the STEM concept is the subject of numerous researches ”in the domain of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, the family still presents an untapped resource for promoting students’motivation and achievement“ (Šimunović & Babarović, 2020, p. 701) . The research he conducted Gülhan (2023) came to the result that ”the subject of family participation in the STEM program (parent-child activities) is frequently studied“ (p. 1), and a particularly noticeable increase in 2021 in the USA. The importance and role of parents is also said tobe ”since the TIMSS 2015 cycle, parents' data on the family context, resources and activities of students in the early periods of development and learning have also been collected“(Đerić, 2021, p. 14) . Key competences for lifelong learning are the starting point Education development strategy in the Republic of Serbia (2021) on the basis of which the subject competencies will be developed, and the educational standards will be formulated so that ”students and parents are clear about the  \nfundamental knowledge of a certain subject and what skills and abilities are developed through a certain subject“(p. 39) . In order to successfully implement the aforementioned, teachers must have the ne","cbCaivm9RyvQVN0a","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivm9RyvQVN0a","pdf",351335,10,"English","# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the main aim of the research?\",\"answer\":\"The research examines parents’ attitudes toward STEM-field teaching subjects—mathematics, the world around us/nature and society, and the digital world—in the first cycle of primary education.\"},{\"question\":\"How many parents participated in the study?\",\"answer\":\"A total of 129 parents participated in the research.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the results suggest about the need for action?\",\"answer\":\"The results indicate it is necessary to inform parents more about the possibilities and importance of STEM teaching subjects.\"}]","PARENTS' ATTITUDES TOWARD STEM TEACHING SUBJECTS IN THE FIRST CYCLE OF PRIMARY EDUCATION | PDF",25,{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":98},[99,103,107,111,116,121,126,129,134,137,140],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":108,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":112,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":113,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":115},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":118,"show_sort_weight":119,"slug":120},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":122,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":123,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":125},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":85,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},30,"research-report",{"id":130,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":131,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":133},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":135,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":136},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":91,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":91,"slug":139},"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":141,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":142,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":143},19,"General","general"]
