Introduction. Communication and collaboration skills are very important skills in learning. These skills help students achieve learning success; however, many students have low collaboration and communication skills in schools.Aim. The present research aimed to demonstrate the potential of the PLONG (Playing, Learning, Doing, and Evaluating) learning model in developing students’ communication and collaboration skills.Methodology and research methods. This research applied the ADDIE model, which encompasses needs analysis, model design, material and activity development, field implementation, and evaluation. The study involved 101 students and 10 classroom teachers as participants. The instruments employed included model feasibility assessments, a PLONG model group discussion forum, and a questionnaire measuring collaboration and communication skills. Data analysis incorporated both qualitative and quantitative methods.Results and scientific novelty. It has been established that the PLONG learning model effectively enhances students’ communication and collaboration skills. These results are supported by an analysis comparing preand post-intervention data. This model increases students’ motivation and readiness to work collaboratively in teams. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that the PLONG learning model is regarded as a comprehensive approach to education, allowing students to independently assess their learning outcomes during the process, which includes engaging game elements. Additionally, PLONG offers feedback that aids students in their improvement.Practical significance. With the PLONG model, students engage in play, learning, action, and assessment, fostering an active and enjoyable learning environment that promotes the optimal development of collaboration and communication skills.
