Abstract

The main objective of this work is to characterize the achievements and challenges of students in their teamwork. This study is part of a broader research project, which, based on design-based research (Rinaudo and Donolo, 2010), aims to improve the implemented teaching strategies and the didactic sequence of a STEM project focused on road safety education. The description of teamwork in a STEM project is analyzed through a combination of individual and group self-assessments and an opinion questionnaire.

The results show that students have an adequate level of social interaction and metacognitive awareness about their learning processes, fundamental aspects in the characteristics of collaborative learning (Zimmerman, 2002). Teamwork is particularly valued in the final opinion evaluation, especially in the context of the developed STEM Project, which is consistent with previous research on the benefits of STEM projects in education (Tseng, Chang, Lou y Chen, 2013).
