AbstractThis study exemplifies a STEM model for engaging students in environmental sustainability programs through a problem-solving approach. The study employed a mixed-method approach incorporating 346 elementary students. The research findings demonstrated a significant improvement in post-test scores, revealing augmented students' understanding of environmental issues. Observations of students' tasks, and students' and facilitators' feedback illustrated enhanced students' collaborative problem-solving (CPS) attitudes. Conclusively the successful implementation of CPS skills through a week-long course has been demonstrated by a strength, weaknesses, opportunities, & threats (SWOT) analysis. Thus, this study paves the way for the future development of E-STEM-based problem-solving programs.
SponsorThis research received no external funding. This study was determined to be exempt from review by the Qatar University Institutional Review Board, as the data was collected for educational quality improvement. Open Access funding provided by the Qatar National Library.
