Abstract. The aim of this research is to determine the perception of prospective teachers, especially in the field of mathematics studies on STEM-based learning. The sample in this study were final students majoring in Mathematics Education at the Nineteenth University of November. This research was using a survey method. The research sample is prospective teachers especially in the field of mathematics studies. Research result show that the enthusiasm of perception teachers towards STEM education is very high. STEM education is able to improve the creativity of using learning media very well. Prospective teachers still have integrity in their knowledge. Thus, STEM education is very much needed in the world of education.

Keywords: STEM, mathematics education, prospective teachers
