ABSTRACT
This study aims to apply the CARB model (Commitment, Alignment, Relationships, and Behaviors) in designing and organizing classroom meeting activities to develop teamwork skills for Pre-service Teachers. Grounded in experiential learning and collaborative learning theories, the study proposes a structured instructional framework that integrates the four dimensions of the CARB model into classroom practices. A design-based approach is proposed to construct to construct and implement a series of classroom activities aligned with the CARB components, including group discussion, and collaborative problem-solving tasks. The study suggests that the CARB model can enhance through students’ participation, interaction quality, and observed teamwork behaviors. The study indicates that the CARB-based activities students’ engagement, improved communication and coordination skills, and fostered positive interpersonal relationships within groups. In particular, the structured integration of commitment and alignment contributed to clearer role distribution and shared goals among students. This study provides both theoretical and practical contributions by offering a systematic and feasible framework for integrating teamwork skill development into tearcher education, supporting competency-based educational reforms.
