In view of this, the present study examined the effect of integrating Engineering Design Process on STEM instruction (STEM-EDP) on students’ conceptual understanding, engineering design performance, and scientific creativity. The study further identified the learning affordances and constraints encountered by the students during the implementation of STEM-EDP. Using educational action research with Plan-Do-Study-Act model, the study validated and implemented STEM-EDP lessons to a purposive sample of 108 students. Results show that the students’ conceptual understanding, engineering design self-assessment, and scientific creativity significantly improved and demonstrated large effect sizes as indicated by Wilcoxon signed-rank test and effect size r. The thematic analysis highlighted the learning affordance (exploration of creative solutions, iterative problem-solving, reflection from learning experiences, and systematic procedure) and the constraints (time management in using EDP, learning references and resources, and background on the problem). Recommendations for the next action research cycles were also discussed.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1208-1220</style></section></record></records></xml>
