Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of case method teaching materials. These materials focus on the Introduction to Macroeconomics course. The expected effectiveness of the developed teaching materials is an improvement in the collaboration skills (one of the core skills of the 21st century) of students using the case method-based teaching materials. This research employs an experimental between-group design. The data obtained are analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The statistical test results indicate a significant difference in collaboration skills between the experimental group and the control group, with the group using the case method-based teaching materials demonstrating higher collaboration skills.
