Abstract
In efforts to provide effective support in STEM education in general and to help school
teachers and leaders to consider STEM approaches and carry them out effectively, the
perceptions of researchers active in STEM education or initiatives regarding STEM are
significant. Despite many efforts to disseminate and implement STEM education, little
research has focused on the researchers. The present study aimed to explore STEM researcher
perceptions of STEM learning environments using the Draw a STEM Learning Environment
Test (D-STEM). The drawings portrayed varying levels of STEM integration and in all
depictions, there were indications of student-centred instruction. We conclude this paper with
a discussion of the implications for practice and research.
