“…The studies conducted for STEM awareness levels (Bakırcı and Karışan, 2018;Buyruk and Korkmaz, 2016b;Yenilmez and Balbağ, 2019;Kızılay, 2016;Kırılmazkaya, 2017;Şahin and Hacıömeroğlu, 2018) found that the awareness levels of prospective teachers were largely positive similar to the results of this research. Moreover, there are studies showing that STEM awareness levels of teachers (Bölükbaşı and Görgülü Arı, 2019;Elayyan and Al-Shizawi, 2019;Ciğerci, 2020;Can and Uluçınar Sağır, 2018;Çevik, Danıştay and Yağcı, 2017), school administrators (Ciğerci, 2020) and university students (Hebebci and Usta, 2017) are positive. Additionally, it was determined that prospective teachers produced completely positive metaphors about STEM education in the metaphor studies related to STEM, they had positive opinions (Ergün and Kıyıcı, 2019a), and all prospective science teachers who got STEM education produced positive metaphors for STEM education (Altun Yalçın and Yalçın , 2018).…”
