Collaboration Skills, 3D Holograms, POPBL Assisted by AIAbstract
Creative thinking skills and collaboration skills are essential skills for 21st-century education. To develop these skills, innovative learning methods and strategies are required. The POPBL assisted by AI model is one such innovative learning model that can be implemented because it effectively facilitates students in developing 21st-century skills. The effectiveness of the POPBL model is expected to increase with the integration of Artificial Intelligence. This study aims to investigate the impact of the POPBL Assisted by AI model on creative thinking skills and collaboration skills. A quasi-experimental design with a non-randomized control group pretest-posttest design was used in this study. This study involved three groups: POPBL assisted by AI model, POPBL, and lecture method accompanied by assignments. The results of the analysis of students' creative thinking skills showed the POPBL assisted by AI model outperformed the POPBL and the lecture method accompanied by assignments. The results of the analysis using ANCOVA showed that the POPBL assisted by AI model had a significant effect on students' creative thinking skills with a significance value of p = 0.002 and students' collaboration skills also had a significant effect with a significance value of p = 0.000.
