Resumen

The growing interest for STEM acronym has resulted in diverse conceptualizations coexis-ting which challenge its understanding. As long as this acronym –recently defined as an educational approach– is intended to produce progress in science education, there is a need to improve teachers’ understanding about its meaning. This study presents a professional development program that aims at such an endeavor, and presents the results of its implementation with Costa Rican pre-service scien-ce teachers. A myriad of different conceptualizations have been identified, resulting in a six different STEM models ranging from the simplest (e.g. STEM as a mere acronym) to more developed models consistent with current definitions (e.g. STEM as the curricular integration of four disciplines). At the start of the program, conceptualizations of STEM as four separate disciplines or STEM as an acronym prevailed. The intervention has led to progress in abandoning simplistic conceptualizations. However, difficulties have been identified in developing conceptualizations consistent with current views of STEM education (e.g. STEM as a connection or curricular integration of four disciplines) raising questions about the appropriateness of an integrated STEM approach
