“…Research papers in the field of mathematics education identify a gap between the effectiveness of developing 21st-century skills through learning and the teachers' preparedness. Therefore, educators and teachers need various learning models, methods, learning strategies, and formative assessments to be able to enhance the quality 21st-century skills in teaching [38,39]. Susilo et al [38] affirm that, "Teachers need training on models and learning methods that can develop 21st-century skills.…”

The overall aim of education is to train proactive, motivated, and independent citizens to face and overcome continuous challenges. Critical thinking—finding solutions to problems—is of primary importance in the 21st century to handle challenging situations and deal with obstacles in careers. A critical literature review approach was used to assess, critique, synthesizes, and expand the theoretical foundation of the topic. Teaching mathematical problem-solving is an efficient way to develop 21st-century skills and to give cross-curricular experiences with real-world meaning to learners. Concrete examples were presented to prove that Pólya’s heuristic could be used in a broader context to help learners acquire the modern skills needed to succeed in their careers. By including in the learning process and practicing specific methods for solving mathematical problems, students could learn a way of thinking to approach and solve problems successfully in a broader context in life. The paper’s outcome provides teachers and educators with methods, learning models, and strategies for developing 21st-century skills in students at all levels during classroom activities.

“…Collaboration can be a forum for sharing knowledge and experiences (Chedid et al, 2020;Savolainen, 2017). Prospective teachers' correct perceptions of collaboration can also improve their skills (Sudrajat et al, 2020). Teacher collaboration has been proven to improve the practical quality of teacher learning (Xie et al, 2023).…”

Collaboration is an important skill for a teacher. Prospective teachers' perceptions about collaboration must be explored to discover their collaboration skills before becoming a teacher. This research aims to determine prospective biology teachers' perceptions regarding collaboration in their teacher preparation program. The study uses a mixed-method approach with an explanatory design. This research uses a survey instrument to obtain quantitative data and semi-structured interviews to obtain qualitative data. A total of 73 prospective biology teacher students were involved in this research. Data were analyzed using a mixed-method approach with explanatory design. The research results show that students have an expert level of collaboration. The gender factor does not significantly influence collaboration, but females have a higher overall score than males. Prospective biology teacher students have been able to define collaboration well, but their definition is not yet in-depth. Prospective biology teacher students have realized the importance of having collaboration skills to support their careers. The recommendation in this research is to develop an appropriate training model to train the collaboration skills of prospective biology teacher students.

“…The articles that students analyze are expected to be articles related to their final research. Developing critical thinking skills is very important to prospective teacher students [31]. The fourth improvement is to use a mindmap or concept map, at the previous meeting only using a mindmap.…”

The purpose of this study is to improve the quality of quantitative research methodology courses. This type of research is a mixed method. Qualitative data analysis is used to describe the improvements made in learning processes. Meanwhile, quantitative data analysis is used to find out the improvement of student communication skills. The sample used in this study was 36 Masters of Biology Education at Universitas Negeri Malang who took quantitative research methodology courses in odd semester 2019/2020. Improvements made include students not being asked to prepare papers, students making reflective essays and uploading it on Edmodo, improving quality of critical analysis articles through the use of FAKA (Article Critical Analysis Format), improvement in the use of learning tools there are Concept Maps or Mind Maps and Concept Map presentations at the beginning of the course and Mind Maps at the end of courses, and there is an improvement in the composition of course material. Communication skills data collection is done by looking at the activeness of students during the learning process by using a scoring rubric. The conclusion of this study is the results of improvements made can improve the quality of developing student communication skills. Communication skills are measured through the number of comments delivered both verbally in class and in writing through comments on Edmodo.
