The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) is an international science and education program that promote teaching and learning of science, enhance environmental literacy and awareness. The Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology (IPST) acted as a country coordinator. IPST has implemented GLOBE throughout the country. One of the important approach is “GLOBE Student research competition (GLOBE SRC)”, this project aim to promote students to learn and share Earth System Science (ESS) research. The research focused on environmental science by using GLOBE measurement protocols. This study reflected outcome of the project such as the amount of ESS research, type of environmental science research and learning outcome of the project in 2009 - 2020. A total of 451 researches were analyzed in term of title and abstract. The result indicated that Survey research is 69%, Experimental research is 26%, and Invention research is 5%. The trend of the Experimental research increased and Invention research slightly increased in the last six years. The result indicated that this approach enabled students to improve their scientific inquiry, scientific thinking and scientific attitude. They received learning experiences that build 21 st century competency to assist them in the future.
