It was previously found that students have low in learning collaboration, which is the learning process has not facilitated them to develop their skills. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of project-based learning (PjBL), Predict-Observe-Explain (POE), and Predict-Observe-Explain based Project (POEP) on student collaboration…

The ability to integrate technology in learning, also known as Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK), is one of the competencies that teachers must master in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. TPCK can be prepared when a teacher becomes a pre-service teacher at a university. The goal of this study was to describe the impact of…
