The main purpose of this study was to determine the level of teachers' attitude towards STEM education as well as the attitudinal disparity between male and female students. The questionnaire which has 29 items using a 5-point Likert scale was administered to 310 primary school mathematics teachers. Descriptive analysis and independent t-tests were applied to solve the research questions.
