Abstract: The purpose of this research was to constitute integrated STEM teacher competencies. The research was carried out via Modified Delphi method formed in four rounds and views and opinions of STEM experts (instructors who work on STEM and teachers who have taken STEM education and having practice on the subject) were examined. The following four competency areas were defined within the scope of integrated STEM teacher competencies: Cognitive Characteristics, STEM Teaching Skills, Affective-Motivational Characteristics in STEM Teaching, and STEM Teacher Zone of Proximal Development. Under these competency areas, 14 components and 58 competence items have been created. This study would be a guiding framework for the development of STEM teacher education programs at the undergraduate or graduate levels.
