The purpose of this study is investigate the research trends of the journal articles, master theses (MA) and doctoral dissertations (PhD) regarding STEM education conducted in Turkish context. Document survey method was used that is qualitative research designs. This qualitative research used content analysis based on keywords related to STEM education. The sample of the study were reached from national academic data base (ULAKBİM), Google Scholar, Ebscohost and Higher Education Institution National Thesis Centre (YÖK). A total of 32 journal articles and 19 graduate thesis were selected for the analysis, following purposive sampling method. Type of study (e.g. qualitative, quantitative, etc.), publication year, publication place, number of authors, research method, sampling, data collection tools, data analysis methods were the variables used to categorize the studies. The data of the work is presented in tabular form, interpreted on the basis of frequencies.The findings showed that the highest number of research were conducted in the year of 2017, the articles outnumbered the graduate studies which were produced in 16 universities, the highest number of articles were published in Educational Sciences: Theory & Practice , the articles were mostly two or three authored studies, qualitative or quantitative method were frequently used in these studies, purposeful sampling was the frequently followed strategy, the study group of these studies were frequently from among secondary school students. Further, knowledge-skills-achievement tests and interviews were frequently used data collection instruments. Regarding the data analysis of these studies, descriptive content analysis and parametric tests were frequently preferred. It is implicated that such an analysis of the current research trend of studies on STEM educational in Turkish context may contribute to the further research studies by spotting on the research gap.
