Abstract: This study aims to examine the implementation of collaborative learning strategies as a learning approach that can improve students' abstract thinking skills. Abstract thinking is an important aspect of cognitive development that allows students to understand complex concepts, make generalizations, and analyze logical relationships between ideas. However, in reality, many students have difficulty in developing abstract thinking skills due to the limited learning methods that stimulate in-depth discussions and critical exploration of ideas. Collaborative learning strategies are based on the theory of social constructivism which emphasizes the importance of interaction between students in the process of building knowledge. Through collaborative activities such as group discussions, joint problem solving, and presentation of ideas, students are encouraged to exchange ideas, reflect on ideas, and construct understanding collectively. This study uses a qualitative and quantitative approach with a pretest-posttest design to measure the development of abstract thinking skills before and after the implementation of this strategy. The results of the study indicate that the systematic implementation of collaborative learning can significantly improve students' abstract thinking skills. Students become more active in critical thinking, ask reflective questions, and are able to understand non-concrete concepts better. In addition, it was also found that the learning atmosphere became more open and participatoryDownloads
