Abstract

This study developed and tested the effectiveness of a novel collaborative learning model grounded in critical thinking skills, aimed at enhancing students’ abilities to write teaching materials. Unlike conventional methods, this model uniquely integrates critical thinking as a core component of collaboration, specifically designed to address the complex skill sets required in 21st-century learning environments. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study involved two groups of students: an experimental group using the critical thinking-based collaborative learning model and a control group employing traditional methods. The results revealed that the experimental group experienced a significant improvement in writing ability and critical thinking skills compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). This model effectively strengthens key competencies for 21st-century learning, including collaboration, communication, and digital literacy. The innovative approach presented in this study provides a pathway for higher education institutions to equip students with essential skills for global challenges. © (2024), (Elite Scientific Publications).
