Communication skills are one of the primary skills that students need to have. Previous research indicates a tendency for differences in communication skills based on gender. For this reason, this research investigates how learning in the digital era can enhance communication skills in students aspiring to become prospective teachers and explores whether there are differences in communication skills based on gender. The research employs a comparative descriptive method to assess the level of student's communication skills, considering gender as one of the influencing factors. The sample consists of 19 male and 19 female students selected through quota sampling. Data analysis conducted using SPSS reveals that overall communication skills are 'good,' except multilingual skills, which are 'sufficient.' Surprisingly, digital technology, particularly translator apps, negatively impacts students' ability to communicate in foreign languages. Gender differences in communication skills were found insignificant when educational opportunities were equal, showing similar skill levels among both genders. This study contributes to scholarship by demonstrating that using digital technology in the learning process can enhance students' communication skills. Additionally, this research proves that, with equal education, gender differences do not affect communication skills. This finding can assist in designing more inclusive and effective learning strategies for developing communication skills in the digital era.

Effective communication as a key component of palliative care requires sufficient knowledge and experience to make nursing interventions successful. This quasi-experimental study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the COMFORT communication model as an intervention to improve student nurses' communication skills while they are under clinical training in specialist palliative care inpatient units. The population sample included 86 student nurses who were randomly assigned into two groups of 40. The intervention group received training on communication skills using the COMFORT communication model. Nine lectures were delivered online or offline; the lectures lasted between 25 to 60 minutes. The control group received the conventional educational programme about communication with patients and families, according to the curriculum of the bachelor's degree in nursing. Data were collected using the Communication Skills Questionnaire and Communication Skills Attitude Scale and analysed using IBM® SPSS® Statistics 22.0. The findings showed that, after the implementation of COMFORT communication model, there was a statistically significant difference in communication skills between the intervention group (122.95±9.36) and the control group (110.1±8.92). There was also a significant difference in attitudes toward communication skills between the intervention group (90.25±8.86) and the control group (90.85±9.15) (P=0.0001). The findings of the study revealed that the COMFORT Communication model created significant statistical differences in the student's attitude, knowledge and communication skills. Novice nurses sometimes struggle with the level of communication skills needed when caring for patients with an end-stage illness. The implementation of the COMFORT communication model significantly improved communication skills and attitudes toward communication. Due to the need to establish effective communication as the core of nursing practice, the implementation of this training programme is recommended for students and qualified nurses, particularly when providing palliative care.

Students must have communication skills to communicate their ideas and thoughts. The communication skill of students plays a role in physics learning because it can change the learning situation in a better direction. In addition to communication skills, collaboration skills must also be owned by the students in the learning of physics, one of which is used to conduct observations in groups. The purpose of this research is to know the relationship between communication skills and students’ collaboration skills, especially in physics. This research is experimental and the sample was taken by purposive sampling technique. In the results, there is a very high relationship between communication skills and students’ collaboration. The score students’ communication skills was 0.876, indicating that there was a direct relationship between students’ communication and collaboration skills, where students’ communication skills increase with the increasing of collaboration skill. Additionally, learning used of video tracker software created new knowledge and skills.

Communication and collaboration are skills needed in the 21st century. However, it is known that these skills are not given enough attention by educators. Evidenced by the fact that conventional methods are still applied during learning which are less able to empower communication and collaboration skills in students. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between improving students' communication and collaboration skills through a problem-based learning model. This study used a class action research method with 36 students as a population. Data were obtained through observation during learning with an adaptation instrument that assessed 6 aspects of communication and 4 aspects of collaboration. Then the data was tested statistically by paired t test. The results obtained were significant differences in communication skills between after cycle 1 (M = 17,64, SD = 1,13) and after cycle 2 (M = 20,77, SD = 1,29), t(35) = 9.69, p <0.001. There is also a significant difference in collaboration skills between after cycle 1 (M = 9,64, SD = 1,13) and after cycle 2 (M = 12,77, SD = 1,29), t(35) = 11.60, p <0.001. Thus, PBL is able to improve students' communication and collaboration skills.

Students' communication skills can be influenced by “playing victim” behavior. No study explicitly links playing victim behavior with a decrease in student communication skills in chemistry learning, even though affective aspects such as this have great potential to influence interaction and understanding of scientific concepts collaboratively. This research aims to discover how such behavior impacts students' communication skills at SMAN 1 Sindue Tobata. This study used descriptive and inferential quantitative methods. As part of this study, 64 students from two Natural Science Program Batch 2023 classes were given questionnaires. The analysis showed that the p values for the victim group (p = 0.4194) and the non-victim group (p = 0.8846) were greater than alpha 0.05, indicating normal data distribution. In addition, the t-test showed a significant difference in communication skills between the two groups (t = -3.7365, p = 0.0004), with the victimized group showing lower communication skills. According to this study, students' communication skills in chemistry learning can be affected by “playing-victim” behavior.

This study aims to investigate the implementation of the Project-Based Learning model to improve English communication skills among seventh-grade students at SMP Antonius Nabire. This research employed the Pre-Experimental Design method, with a sample of 29 eighth-grade students. Data were collected using an oral test (speaking test). The results of the study showed that the application of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model significantly improved students' communication skills in the English subject. Before the implementation of PjBL, the majority of students fell into the failing category with an average score of 57.58%. However, after the implementation of PjBL, there was a significant improvement, with the average student score reaching 94.48%, and the majority of students achieving the "very good" qualification. These results align with various studies that assert PjBL's effectiveness in enhancing communication skills, as students actively engage in discussions, collaboration, and project presentations. In addition to improving academic abilities, PjBL also hones essential social skills needed for 21st-century learning. The N-Gain results showed that all students achieved a high qualification in communication skills, confirming that PjBL is an effective method for significantly increasing student engagement and communication skills.
