Abstract
The aim of this study is to consider STEM teaching objectives in pre-service physics teacher education. The objectives must reflect the education needs of the 21st century and should be focused on transforming the content of education and on reducing social inequalities in education. The aim of our research that has been carried out at the university (first term students and students leaving the university took part in this research) was to find out critical places in the study program. The question was, what can be done to mitigate the discrepancy between the strategy of education (science literacy) and STEM education and the content of the educational program for pre-service physics teacher at the university. Findings of this research lead to innovations of the study program. The main ideas of the study program (STEM subjects, types of teaching practice) are presented.
