Abstract
Alpaslan Sahin and This chapter examines a novel teaching method, the STEM Students on the Stage (SOS)TM model, in which teachers receive regular training and implement a well developed project-based learning curriculum. Specifically, we investigated the STEM SOS model teachers’ reflections and experiences with the model. Seven teachers volunteered to participate in the study. The subjects taught by teachers included physics, mathematics, chemistry, and biology.
