Abstract
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) skills play a potentially paramount role in the success of STEM over the last several decades. The research presented here is part of an ongoing project to construct a meta-synthesis of CPS findings in learning using digital STEM games. After a systematic search of the literature and coding articles,first analysis results provided a frame for sampling from this literature in order to examine the effects of digital STEM games on collaborative problem-solving skills. This preliminary meta-synthesis addresses four task characteristics of CPS in the STEM game: Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) have 4 computer-based Tasks, Assessing and Teaching 21st Century Skills (ATC21S) have 11 computer-based short simulation tasks, Tetralogue has One long science simulation (Computer-based) and; Collective Intelligence Battery (5 complex tasks).
