This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness
of using science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) approach on the achievement of
students of the tenth grade in mathematics in Palestine.
The sample of the study consisted of 45 students of the
tenth grade at Ibn al - Bitar Second Primary School
for the academic year of 2016/ 2017. The members of
the sample of the study were divided into two groups:
an experimental group consisting of 23 students who
studied logic unit using (STEM) approach and a
control group consisting of 22 students who studied
the same unit in the usual way. The results of the study
indicated that there was a statistically significant
difference a= 0. 05 in the post - academic achievement
test in favor of the experimental group. The study
recommended the use of the STEM approach in the
teaching of mathematics where the results showed the
effectiveness in the development of students› academic
achievement, the need to train mathematics teachers
to employ the STEM introduction in their mathematics
education, and the training of teachers in computer
science, programming and design in coordination
with technology specialists, engineers and industrial institutions to promote students› research activities
within a clear educational vision with specified
objectives.
