Abstract

Differentiated learning is an action taken by the teacher in the classroom that adapts the learning process to the needs
of each student, so that the needs of each child can be met as a whole. One of the main needs of students that needs to
be improved in achieving optimal learning outcomes and supporting the learning process in the surrounding
environment is the ability to collaborate. The purpose of this study was to find out whether there was an increase in
students' collaboration skills using a differentiated learning model. The type of research used is collaborative
classroom action research with four stages, namely: planning, action, observation, and reflection. This research was
conducted at Gendongan 01 Public Elementary School with research subjects namely all 22 grade II students. Data
analysis techniques used percentage, category, and comparison techniques. In the pre-cycle, students' collaboration
skills reached 9.09%. After applying differentiated learning, collaboration skills can increase in the first cycle by
40.09% and in the second cycle by 72.71%. The use of differentiated learning models can also improve student learning
outcomes, which were originally in the pre-cycle as much as 45.45%, increased to 72.72% in cycle I and cycle II as
much as 90.90%. Thus, the differentiated learning model can be applied in learning to improve collaboration skills and
student learning outcomes.
