STEM education is gaining global recognition because of its crucial role in equipping students with the necessary skills for future professional opportunities. However, the proficiency and skill of educators, including their understanding of STEM disciplines and effective teaching methods, are key determinants of the success of STEM education. Therefore, ICT plays a crucial role in improving teaching and learning methods in STEM education within the TVET platform, ensuring the effectiveness of subject delivery and the relevance of STEM education. This study aims to explore TVETMARA educators' experiences in integrating ICT into STEM teaching through the lens of TPACK. Ten TVETMARA educators participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis generated five themes: ICT Selection, Organizational Support, Peer Collaboration, Pedagogical Practices, and Lesson Preparation. This study contributes valuable insights to STEM teaching with the inclusion of ICT in the context of TVET.
