Abstract This study examined the development and the effect of the Collaborative Problem-Solving for Character Competence (CoProC) instruction model within the context of secondary science education. The participant group of this study was comprised of 73 10th grade students, whom received the CoProC program. In order to assess the effect of CoProC instruction model upon participants’ collaborative problem-solving skills, we implemented reflective writing practices for participants. To evaluate the program, we administered surveys that assessed the cognition of students’ collaborative problem-solving. The results of collaborative problem-solving showed that the participant group has large effect size on collaborative problem-solving and social skill of collaboration, medium effect size on and cognitive skill of collaboration. Students’ answers in the survey showed that the students thought the collaborative problem-solving for character competence(CoProC) activities were helpful for collaborative problem-solving. In particular, participants were able to identify those CoProC activities which targeted and improved specific sub-elements of character competence, e.g.: caring in ‘Grouping and Making Rules;’ caring and responsibility in ‘Deciding Roles;’ collaboration, communication, and respect in ‘Identifying and Sharing Problems;’ collaboration and responsibility in ‘Designing and Conducting Inquiry;’ communication, respect, positive self-image and self-regulation in ‘Decision-making;’ communication and honesty in ‘Suggesting Solutions;’ and honesty, positive self-image, and self-regulation in ‘Assessment and Reflection.’
