The size of the samples was (77) teachers who were chosen randomly. The study revealed that list of teaching practices in the light of the integrative approach between Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and the training needs of mathematics teachers in the light of the integrative approach (STEM) were very high. Also, the study revealed that there were no statistically significant differences between the sample of the study due to the variable of the educational qualification and the years of service and the number of training programs that the teacher attended and the stage (elementary, intermediate or secondary) that the teacher teaches in.
