**6. Conclusion**

The limitations, strengths, and advantages of collaborative learning through STEM approach are outlined in this chapter. The chapter additionally presents instances of technologies that enhance collaboration skills through many means, including facilitating communication among students across different temporal and spatial contexts, fostering written and multimodal exchanges among students, providing guidance for collaborative procedures, and supporting the development of collective knowledge. Further exploration is needed for formative assessment of students' collaborative knowledge and practices. In addition, the assessment of students' collaborative skills should be explored, with a focus on evaluating the effect of collaborative learning on students' academic and affective outcomes (individual) as well as conducting formative assessment of collaborative knowledge and practice.
