STEM education is gaining more importance thanks to the changes in technology because technological changes reveal the need for mathematics, science, engineering and technology disciplines. Besides, problem-solving skills are one of the skills that children are required to have. Children can produce new solutions to changes thanks to their problem-solving skills. In many studies, it is seen that STEM education supports children’s problem solving skills, which is one of the 21st century skills. In addition the engineering design process used in STEM and the problem-solving steps are similar. Thus, the problem solving skills are supported and developed thanks to STEM. This study is a review article aiming to examine the relationship between STEM based on engineering design process and problem solving skills. In addition, the study examines the studies about STEM and problem solving skills on Turkey.}, number={25}, publisher={Asos Eğitim Bilişim Danışmanlık San. Tic. Ltd. Şti.}
