The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of STEM-oman integrated with science class on the interest of 10th grade students towards stem's careers and subjects. Quasi-experimental research was conducted in the second semester of the academic year of 2018-2019. Sixty-four female students of tenth grade from two secondary schools at the same town had participated in this study. The researcher used STEM-Oman approach that was established by the Ministry of Education in Oman with the British Rolls-Royce to be integrated in the common topics in science subject in the experimental group (31) while the control group (33) studied these topics in a normal seating without STEM-Oman. Data were collected by survey of student' interest toward both STEM' subject and career (STEM-CIS). According to the research results, overall, there is no significant difference in mean scores for interest towards STEM career and subjects between groups. Moreover, there is no significant difference in ISTEMC neither ISTEMS for interactivity between groups or science achievement levels. However, there is a significant difference in interests in STEM careers' technology between groups favor the control group. In addition, there is significant difference in interests in STEM subject' math between groups favor the experiment group and interests in STEM subject' technology between groups favor the control group. In the light of the research results, some suggestions have been made for future studies. (Published abstract)
