Resumo

The aim of this study is to identify the needs of 141 students and 67 teachers from seven Primary Education schools in relation to STEM teaching, detecting possible gender differences and similarities. This objective is part of the european CREATEskills project. On the basis of an exploratory and non-experimental research design, two validated questionnaires were used through a dual procedure (expert judgment and pilot study). The results indicate that teachers demand additional resources and training for STEM teaching, while students prefer to use digital resources and conduct experimental work. In relation to gender differences, female teachers adopted a more critical view of STEM teaching in comparison to male teachers, but no significant gender differences were identified among students.
