Fostering Creative and Critical Thinking Skills through Collaborative Learning: A Theoretical Approach

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' creative and critical thinking skills by using a collaborative learning model. The problem studied is the low motivation of students to learn, students who are less creative and not critical, so a collaborative learning model is needed. The method used is qualitative with literature and literature studies, theoretically and historically analyzing the development of learning models. The results of this study consistently show that collaborative learning has a positive impact on the development of students' creative and critical thinking skills. Collaborative learning allows students to interact, share ideas and work together to achieve common learning goals. In this way, they can gain deeper understanding, solve problems creatively and develop their critical thinking skills. In other words, collaborative learning is an effective approach to improving students' thinking ability in various aspects. This study also explains the theoretical measurement factors for future researchers and describes, explains and measures the development of learning models based on theoretical studies.
