The study investigates how applying a collaborative learning model can enhance students’ 4Cs skills—critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creative thinking—in applied statistics courses at the Mathematics Education Study Program, Unismuh Makassar. Using a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design with preparation, implementation over four meetings, data analysis using descriptive statistics and a one-sample t test, and conclusion, results show an improvement from a medium pretest mean of 70.39 to a high posttest mean of 83.04, with 26.09% of students reaching the very high category.

[nursakiah@unismuh.ac.id](nursakiah@unismuh.ac.id) The industrial revolution 4.0 make change in the educational paradigm that focuses on knowledge production and innovation applications of knowledge. One of the important elements that must be of concern to encourage economic growth and the nation's competitiveness in the era of the 4.0 industrial revolution is to prepare a more innovative learning system and increase the competence of graduates who have 21st century skills (Learning and Innovations Skills) . In the form of the 4Cs”-critical thinking skills, communication skills, collaborative skills, and creative thinking skills. To reach these skills, the learning process must be carried out interactively, inspiring, fun, challenging, motivating students to actively participate, and providing sufficient space for initiative, creativity, and independence according to the talents, interests, and physical and psychological development of students. One learning model that can be applied to achieve student competence is the collaborative learning model. The purpose of this study is to improve the 4Cs skills of students through the application of a collaborative learning model for students of Mathematics Education Unismuh Makassar. This study used a one-group pretest-posttest experimental research design consisting of four stages, namely (1) preparation: conducting inductive studies of problems, studying literature and making research plans, compiling and validating research instruments; (2) Implementation: giving pre-test, treatment with treatment for 4 meetings, giving post-test, and collecting data; (3) Data analysis: data reduction and analysis through descriptive analysis and inferential one sample t test; (4) Conclusion: analysis and evaluation to get a valid picture in drawing the right conclusions. The results of this study conclude that the application of the collaborative learning model could improve the 4cs ability of students in applied statistics courses with the pre-test score in the medium category with an average score is 70.39, but after the application of the action, the increase in the 4cs ability of students with an average score is 83.04 and categorized in the high category with 26.09% students in the very high category.
