    Identifying career aspirations of STEM Chemistry Teachers
    (SDU University, 2025) Zainy A.
    STEM is an integrated educational concept that combines the fields of Science (Science), Technology (Technology), Engineering (Engineering) and Mathematics (Mathematics). The term was first widely used in the 2000s in the United States for the purpose of reforming the education sector, and later became one of the areas of Education recognized at the global level. The STEM educational model differs from traditional subject teaching in that it organizes the educational process in a complex, interdisciplinary way, that is, it is based on teaching, combining several disciplines in solving real-life problems. Its significance lies not only in preparing individuals for specialized careers but also in cultivating a broader set of skills essential for navigating the challenges of the modern world.There are several reasons why STEM education is important. First, it prepares students for careers in STEM-related fields, which are growing rapidly and offer good job prospects. Second, it helps students develop skills that are valuable in all fields of work, such as creativity, innovation, and adaptability. Third, it promotes scientific literacy and understanding of important scientific issues. Despite its many benefits, STEM education faces several challenges. One challenge is the lack of qualified STEM teachers.
