Abstract STEM (Scienc e, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education has gained global recognition for its role in nurturing 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation. The effective integration of STEM education in school classrooms largely depends on teachers’ awareness and understanding of its interdisciplinary nature, pedagogical approaches, and curricular relevance. Teacher education institutions therefore play a crucial role in developing adequate awareness of STEM education among pre-service teachers. The present study aims to examine STEM education awareness among pre-service teachers enrolled in teacher education programmes. A quantitative descriptive survey method was adopted, and data were collected from 120 pre-service teachers using a self-developed STEM Education Awareness Scale. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers demonstrate moderate awareness of STEM education, with noticeable gaps in interdisciplinary integration and application-oriented understanding. The study emphasizes the need for systematic orientation, curricular integration, and professional support within teacher education programmes to strengthen STEM education awareness among future teachers.
