| Abstract | The goal of mathematics education in the Philippines is the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills of the students. The pandemic, however, posed a serious challenge in implementing strategies that would promote 21st-century skills among unprepared students. This paper aimed to present the mathematics instructorâs experience in promoting collaboration in the time of the pandemic among pre-service teachers, utilizing the innovative and flexible (InFleX) modality. As action research, this paper describes the implementation of modular collaboration projects and study groups to promote collaboration. Utilizing local research outputs on interdisciplinary contextualized project-based units, collaborative problem solving, and communication patterns, these mechanisms of implementing collaborative activities in online and distance learning modality was devised. Purposive sampling is employed in the collection of student data. Preliminary survey results of the student experiences yielded some types of studentsâ mechanisms of decision-making and collaboration that are termed additive; goal-oriented and consultative. Students also expressed the role of the teacher in the collaboration activity and the challenges encountered. The implementation of the modular collab projects amidst the challenge of connectivity and the pandemic through the establishment of study groups and multiple communication channels encouraged students to achieve the module outcomes. |
