Abstract

STEM Education is currently attracting the attention of many parties including biology students to apply in the classroom. Students' understanding and interest in STEM Education are two basic things to support the successful implementation of STEM Education. Nevertheless, studies on student profiles related to the understanding and interest of STEM Education especially in biology students are still difficult to find. The objectives of this article was to investigate the profile of understanding and interest in STEM, which was analyzed in a descriptive quantitative manner by conducting a survey of 42 masters in biology education. The findings indicate that biology students have basic knowledge of STEM education and a relatively high interest in STEM education. As 79% of prospective educators claim they are interested in studying STEM, and 62% say that it is necessary for teachers to consider STEM. Institution support is deemed necessary to be increased and optimized in order to enhance students' knowledge and readiness in implementing STEM.
