ICARE (Introduction, Connection, Application, Reflection, and Extension): Analysis of Effectiveness in Improving Student's Communication and Collaboration Ability

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Introduction, Conection, Application, Reflection, and Extension (ICARE) learning model in order to improve students' communication and collaboration skills. 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. Seeing the development of the learning model used with its modification and implementation taking place in such a complex and directed manner, the ICERE learning model is considered capable of being a solution that can be used in the learning process primarily to see communication and collaboration skills so that it has bargaining power as a solution in current learning
