Abstract

This research aims to find a portrait of students' 21st-century skills after attending mandatory curriculum courses that apply the team-based project learning method at one of state university at Semarang, Indonesia. This research applies a quantitative approach with a survey research type. The population in this study was 250 students who came from a pilot class implementing mandatory project-based curriculum courses. The sampling technique applied in this research is a saturated sampling technique involving the entire population in data collection. The data in this research was collected using a questionnaire that was analyzed descriptively. The research results showed that 82.55% of students were minimally competent in all 21st-century skills surveyed (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creative thinking). Collaboration skills obtained the highest percentage, namely 90.91%. Meanwhile, communication skills obtained the lowest 78.37% compared to the other three skills. Generally, the portrait of 21st-century skills of students who have taken part in learning that applies to the team-based project method leads to positive data. This research will be more valid if the number of research samples can be increased.
