STEM education, an innovative approach fostering Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics skills, stands as an alternative method to cultivate 21st-century competencies. It emphasizes innovation while teaching materials serve as resources aiding instructors in classroom teaching and learning activities. An analysis of published articles in national and international journals focused on examining trends in STEM education and teaching materials. Out of 18 collected articles meeting specific criteria, findings underscore the capacity of STEM education and associated teaching materials to enhance scientific literacy and promote sustainability awareness. Notably, when leveraging STEM-based teaching materials, significant advancements in these areas are evident. However, further empirical research is warranted to comprehensively explore the potential of STEM-based Teaching Materials in augmenting scientific literacy and fostering sustainability awareness.
