Abstract

21st century competencies are needed as a provision for college graduates to face the era of society 5.0. These competencies include creative thinking skills, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. This research aims to describe the influence of discovery learning on student collaboration skills during real laboratory activities. Discovery learning was chosen because the implementation of practicum activities is carried out in real laboratory so that it requires all students to play an active role and be able to collaborate in carrying out practicum activities. This type of research uses one group pretest-posttest design. The subject of this study was 30 first-year students from two different classes who took the Basic Physics Practicum II course at the Department of Physics Education, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. The basic physics practicum collaboration ability test was divided into 5 groups with different practicum materials using 4 indicators of assessment of collaboration aspects. The implementation of practicum activities is carried out offline so that cooperation and collaboration between groups can be seen. The aspects of the indicator include positive dependence between members, individual responsibilities, group cooperation, and face-to-face interaction. Research data is processed statically using the help of SPSS software version 25. Analysis of research results shows that the skills of student collaboration are complete and appropriate in all indicators. Based on the analysis, an average N-Gain score of 64.8 was obtained with a medium category in the criteria for improving collaboration skills.
