The results of this study reveal that the observation of students' ability to solve problems collaboratively increased from the first cycle to 74.58% and in the second cycle to 84.45%. The application of the TPOT model was able to improve the ability of students from the initial assessment in the first cycle 69 % to the second cycle 86 % and the questionnaire on students' ability to collaborate to solve problems greater than before Cycle I, 75.56 % and Cycle II 88.89 %.
