more, or groupwork, and an environtment where there are variety. The higher educated students learn to expand the responsibility and to meet the atmosphere
where there are variety in environtment. Gunawan 2003 explains that collaborative learning process or
collaborative learning does not only work together, but it leans on the learning process which involves communication process intactly and fairly in the class. It
can be said that a learning process can be mentioned as collaborative learning when all students in the group have willingness to communicate and share anyting to their
colleagues. Collaborative learning activities are varied widely, but most center on
students’ exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it. In collaborative learning, the students discussion
and their thought in working on the material which is already given are highlighted. In other words, in collaborative learning, every student is expected to share
everything, such as skill, ideas, energy, teamworking sense, and problem solving skill.
On the other side, in collaborative learning, the existing processes such as lecturing, listening and taking notes are not entirely missing. The collaborative
learning process in the classroom, the teachers still have to give explanations, and
students have to listen and take notes.
