“…Finding the best solution will demonstrate that individuals can use skills and knowledge required by more than one discipline and that their decision-making skill has developed. Individuals who have developed their decision-making skill will be able to choose one of the possible solutions to daily-life problems without any hesitation (Denson, 2011;Tezel & Yaman, 2017). It is also understood that the goals of STEM education have overlap those of the curricula.…”

Today's life requires individuals to be prepared for complex world environment, to make complex decisions, and to have critical thinking skills related to everyday life issues at hand. STEM education is thought to be the glorious solution to thrive in a global knowledge driven world. Teachers are key elements for successful STEM education. Present study aims to investigate the preservice primary school, mathematics and science teachers STEM awareness. Quantitative research methodology guided the present study. Cross-sectional survey type which collects information from a sample that has been selected from a predetermined population was used. Stem Awareness Scale, a five point Likert type instrument developed by Buyruk and Korkmaz (2016), was used to measure preservice teachers STEM awareness. Data was collected from 558 (371 female, 187 male) preservice teachers enrolled in three different teacher preparation programs. The results of this research demonstrates that there is no significant interaction effect for gender and department variables however there is significant difference among different department students STEM awareness preservice science teachers' and preservice primary school teachers STEM awareness scores have similar mean values and also outnumbers the preservice mathematics teachers' STEM awareness.

“…The research on decision making skills and engineering design process [1,28,31,33,34,35,40,41,[45][46][47][48][49][50] has been examined in order to determine what behaviors pre-service science teachers can reflect on their ability to make decisions on event documents. The steps of the decision making process [48] and the engineering design process [28] were considered together, and elements that could be included in the event documents for this phase were identified.…”

“…Denson [33], in a study where a synthesis of experience in engineering design approach in STEM education was carried out, emphasizes that future researchers who want to conduct research on engineering design approach should focus on decision making skills. In a study conducted by Ercan & Bozkurt [6] with middle school students, it was determined that the out-of-school applications in which DBL is implemented provide the development of decision making skills of the students.…”

“…This relationship between the engineering design process and the decision-making process led to the belief that the development of decision-making skills could be supported by science education through engineering applications [6]. Denson [33], in a study where a synthesis of experience in engineering design approach in STEM education was carried out, emphasizes that future researchers who want to conduct research on engineering design approach should focus on decision-making skills. Jonansen [35] draws attention to the relationship between decision-making process and engineering design process, explaining the relation between these two processes by drawing a three-dimensional model.…”

“…They learn necessary scientific concepts in this step to solve engineering design problems [32]. Many studies point out that "decision making" skills are effectively used in engineering design process [1,31,[33][34][35][36]. Fila and Purzer [34] described engineering design process as an approach that provides implicit learning for decision making owing to this very relationship.…”

In this research, it is aimed to examine in depth the effect of design based learning (DBL) program on pre-service science teachers' on development of the decision making skills and determine the opinions of pre-service science teachers regarding the effect of the DBL program on decision making skills. For this purpose, embedded integrated design of a mixed-methods approach was employed in this study. In the quantitative part, one-group pre-test and post-test experimental design was used. Multiple-case (embedded) design was used in the qualitative part. The study group for the quantitative part of the research is 36 pre-service science teachers determined by convenience sampling method. The qualitative study group are 6 pre-service science teachers determined by maximum variety sampling. The quantitative data of the study were collected via decision-making skills test. DBL activities worksheet and semi-structured interviews were used as qualitative data. Findings indicated that there was a significant difference between participants' pre-test and post-test decision skills measures in favor of the post-tests. In this study, it was determined that the decision process related to the design challenge revealed from the real life situations were identification of the problem, evaluation of the alternatives, decision applications, decision and application steps.
