Abstract
Problem-solving and collaborative skills are key components of Learning and Innovation Skills essential for 21st-century careers. These skills enable learners to think analytically and systematically, coordinate tasks, and cooperate effectively in developing solutions to achieve goals. This study aims to develop the problem-solving and collaborative skills of Grade 11 students in the KOSEN program at KMUTT through the Project Work course by integrating the Engineering Design Process (EDP): Define, Design, Fabrication, Experiment, and Presentation. The study was conducted with 32 students, using a free-response problem-solving test and a collaboration satisfaction survey administered before and after the implementation of the learning model, which encouraged teamwork through brainstorming solutions, dividing responsibilities for creating a workpiece, and presenting the group work. The research results found that (1) the scores on the problem-solving test after learning were significantly higher than before learning at the .05 level, and (2) students rated their collaboration experiences as “good” to “very good,” though challenges remained in allocating tasks and responsibilities within groups. Overall, the findings demonstrate that integrating STEM-PjBL with EDP effectively enhances students’ problem-solving ability and promotes collaborative learning experiences.
