Improving Students Communication and Colaboration Ability through the POE Model

Abstract

The 21st century is known as a century of knowledge. This era is marked by the rapid advancement of science and technology that is offset by changes in the learning paradigm. The 21st century learning paradigm emphasizes the ability of students to think critically, connect knowledge with real life, master technology and can communicate and collaborate well. In line with the 21st century paradigm, the Indonesian government carries out the 2013 curriculum which was proclaimed as an effort to improve the quality of education. The 2013 curriculum has not been able to fully facilitate 21st century capabilities, especially communication and collaboration skills. This research discusses about the implementation of the 2013 curriculum with the POE learning model on improving communication and collaboration ability.
