However, according to observations, the results showed that students of the Department of Biology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, State University of Medan still have low 21st century skills with a percentage of 61.22%. Therefore, this study aims to test the effectiveness of developing the integrated Self-Discovery and Exploration (SDE) Taxonomy of Organisms module to improve students^ collaboration skills. This module is a modification of the Discovery Learning concept based on the assignment of the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework. This study uses the Research and Development (R & D) method which specifically measures the effectiveness of the developed module. Data collection techniques through observation. The research instrument uses the accuracy sheet for student collaboration skills achievement. The results of the study were analyzed through t-test and calculated the percentage of students^ collaboration skills achievement. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the learning outcomes of students^ collaboration skills in the experimental and control classes with tcount of 73,724 and ttable of 1,697 (tcount > ttable). The average score of the experimental class students^ collaboration skills was 74.36% and the control class was 4.28%. Thus, it can be concluded that the development of the integrated Self-Discovery and Exploration (SDE) Taxonomy of Low-Level Organisms (SDE) module has proven to be effective in improving students^ collaboration skills.
