Prince (2004) suggested that there appears to be “broad but uneven support for the core elements of active, collaborative, cooperative and problem-based learning” (p. 223). In this current study, it seemed that as a student outcome (e.g., skill development and attitude) a combination of individual and group work may assist to target students’ learning needs, particularly as some students require group work for motivation and ideas while individual learners can forge their own directions for problem solving (Gokhale, 1995). Engineers work in groups and individually at various times; thus this method may provide a way to emulate the work of engineers. Overall, the teacher and students indicated that the teaching strategies employed during the STEM lessons facilitated positive attitudes in students to engage with the concepts and tasks.
