There is only one student who is able to show empathy, such as respecting a friend who is talking by responding and giving feedback. This student is classified as an indicator of empathy. In the second meeting, there were six students who included indicators of empathy to think, understand, feel and communicate, such as students who actively asked questions, dared to express their opinions and were able to respond to their friends' responses. In the third meeting, all students actively argued and asked questions without being appointed by the group leader. This shows that empathy indicators have been realized by every student.
