Abstract
The main purpose of this chapter is to examine the science and mathematics integration models and summarize the relevant literature on the integration of science and mathematics with respect to teacher education. The obstacles reported in these studies were analyzed from the teachers' perspectives, and a model of an integrated teaching method course was offered by considering the drawbacks in the literature. The proposed course is pedagogical content knowledge-based and enriched with the engineering design process to integrate science and mathematics effectively. The main parts of the course are (1) understand, (2) engage, (3) collaborate, (4) apply, and (5) reflect. Recommendations for research and practice are provided at the end of the chapter.
