In order to measure the STEM awareness levels of prospective teachers, "STEM Awareness Scale", which was developed by Buyruk and Korkmaz (2016a). In order to determine the information and communication technology usage levels of the prospective teachers, "Information and Communication Technology Usage Levels Scale'', which was developed by Kutluca, Arslan and Ă–zpinar (2010) were used. According to the results obtained in the study, it has been determined that the STEM awareness levels of prospective teachers were positive, the ICT usage levels were moderate, and there was a positive, weak and significant relationship between their STEM awareness levels and ICT usage levels.
