STEM Education is an area of study that intergrates the four principles of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through coherent and active teaching and learning approaches which base on problem-based learning in the real-world. Thus, the purpose of this study is to synthesize the research on STEM Education Approach effected on students’ learning achievement in Thailand. There are two sets of variables. The first set is the description of research and the second set is the effect size of research. Data collection and analysis tools are the recording data form for research synthesis, frequency, percentage and meta-analysis. The results showed that (1) description of researches dated by 2009-2019, STEM Education research was mostly published in 2017 (68.18%), Rajabhat Mahasarakham University often produced STEM Education research (59.09%), Sciences Education major usually produced the STEM Education research (68.18%), researchers from the Office of the Basic Education Commission commonly produced the research (72.72%), most of the researchers were female (72.72%), common research objectives found was to compare (35.19%), research design most found was One group pretest-posttest design (77.27%), frequent sampling method found was purposive sampling (59.09%), sampling level of research was upper secondary school (68.18%) and analyzing method largely found was descriptive analysis (48.89%). (2) the effect size (d) from STEM Education on Learning Achievement = 0.445 which means STEM Education can affect the scores of the experimental group more than the control group.
