Abstract

The aims of this action research were to investigate the way of guidelines using STEM learning approach to promote collaborative problem solving competency and to study that development of competency of 12th graders on geohazard. The key informant of 35 students of 12th graders from the 2nd semester in the academic year 2021 at Nonemaprangsuksawittaya School, Phitsanulok province. The researcher implemented that by using lesson plans, and collect data by reflective form, observation, evaluation forms, and learning tasks. In this action research, three PAOR cycles were run continuously. For data analysis, content analysis technique, percentage and mean was used along with method triangulation. The result reveals that guidelines using STEM learning approach consists of 5 steps as 1) Identify a challenge, 2) Explore Ideas, 3) Plan and Develop, 4) Test and Evaluate, and 5) Present the Solution Also, on collaborative process must be supported with technology for on-going learning process during the Covid-19 Epidemic. It was found that most students developed their competencies in establishing and maintaining shared understanding, establishing and maintaining team organization, and taking appropriate action to solve the problem respectively.
