Abstract

This research aimed to study of the collaborative problem-solving competency on the topic of solutions of grade 10 students learning using Inquiry-based learning incorporation with STEAM education experiments. The research design is a one-shot case study. A sample size of 40 was obtained through purposive sampling. The research tools consisted of 5 inquiry-based lesson plans with STEAM education experiments and the scoring rubrics for the competency assessment in collaborative problem solving. The lesson plans of inquiry-based learning, students prepare a solution of 2 M CuSO4 from CuSO4.5H2O. Students experiment with diluting a 2 M solution to 1 M CuSO4. Students mix 1 M and 2 M CuSO4 solutions to get a concentration of the mixed solution of 1.5 M CuSO4. The lesson plans of STEAM education under the topic of solution consisted of natural scented liquid soap, fresh scented bar soap, herbal dishwashing liquid, water balm, and fun with Slurpee. 10 hours were required to complete all lesson plans.  By analysing the collaborative problem-solving from the STEAM education worksheets using content analysis to interpret student responses, summarize data, and identify levels of competency according to the PISA collaborative problem-solving assessment framework. The research results showed that the average student’s competency in collaborative problem-solving in all areas had a score of 2.73 points or 91 percent, which is a high level of competency.
