This research method is quantitative research with a Quasi-Experiment Design approach. Data collection techniques used in this study were observation, tests and documentation. Collecting data in this study is a documentation technique. This method is used to obtain research data in the form of a list of student names, subject syllabus, even semester final exam questions grid, objective questions and even semester final exam answer keys. The ICARE learning model can improve students' communication skills and student collaboration skills. Each stage in the ICARE model leads students to complete knowledge. Complete knowledge with good skills can optimize students' communication and collaboration skills.
