Abstract:
Collaboration and communication skills are an important skill in the 21st century. The
study aims to acquire a description of collaboration and communication skills designing project
assignments created by pre-service mathematics teachers. This study used a qualitative approach
to observe the phenomenon of participants in making a project task. The participants were 43
pre-service mathematics teachers who took a course on teaching-learning strategies.
Collaboration and communication skills are demonstrated by students when the process of
planning products, making products, presenting, and evaluating products. The results obtained
in this study are students can figure out their level of understanding of the results of the
presentation he has done. This can help students to plan to make the next teaching material
appropriately. Project assignments in groups can promote collaborative learning. This is very
helpful to students who are weak to build confidence. These results suggest that project
assignments not only test students’ understanding of a particular topic but also develop student
collaboration and communication skills.
