Abstract

The purposes of this research are to study the STEM approach based on engineering design process to enhance the collaborative problem solving competencies (CPS) and study the effect of teaching approach to promote CPS in geological phenomena. The methodology of this research was classroom action research 3 cycles. The research instruments included lesson plans, reflective journal, CPS observation form and CPS test. Data analysis by content analysis. The research found that STEM approach should emphasized on the most discussion and reflection together and consists of 7 steps as 1) Find and identify problems 2) Creating concepts 3) Planning 4) Constructing model  5) Testing 6) Presentation and discussion and 7) Reflection. In addition, found that students are more developing in CPS and most students are at a high level of competencies. Students need to be continuously developed, that will increase more effectively.
