Improving Cooperation and Communication Skills Using the Rice Model in Indonesian Language Lessons in Grade IV Elementary School Abstract. The low level of student collaboration and communication skills in Indonesian language lessons necessitates the implementation of a learning model that fosters active student engagement throughout the learning process. The PADI model was selected because it integrates student-centered learning activities, thereby cultivating collaboration and communication skills as well as active participation in Indonesian language lessons. This study aimed to enhance collaboration and communication skills using the PADI model during Indonesian language instruction for fourth-grade students at SDN Pangeran 1, Banjarmasin City. A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was employed, conducted over four sessions. All aspects of the study met the established success indicators. The results indicate that the implementation of the PADI model successfully improved teacher activity (scoring 28, categorized as "Very Good") and student activity (reaching 100%, categorized as "All Students Very Active"). Furthermore, collaboration skills reached 96% (categorized as "Almost All Students Very Skilled"), and communication skills reached 100% (categorized as "Most Students Very Skilled"). This study offers an effective alternative learning model to improve the quality of the Indonesian language learning process and outcomes, particularly in developing the collaboration and communication skills of elementary school students.
