Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of collaborative learning on improving students' communication skills, including empathy, active listening, and negotiation skills. The analysis was conducted using ANCOVA with pretest scores as covariates. The results showed that collaborative learning treatment had a significant effect on improving posttest results (F = 83.487, p < 0.001) with a partial eta squared value of 0.416, indicating a large contribution of treatment to the dependent variable.

This study provides theoretical and practical contributions to the development of learning innovations that focus on strengthening students' affective and social
