This study aims to improve pedagogical abilities of prospective Physics teacher students through a learning model. The Explaining-Doing (EXDO) learning model is one of the artistic models in developing student pedagogical abilities. The implementation of the EXDO model for prospective students of physics shows that pedagogical abilities have increased. The intended pedagogical ability includes the ability of prospective physics students in determining Learning Indicators, Learning Objectives, Learning Materials, Learning Methods, Learning Media, Learning Steps, Determining Learning Resources, Scientific Content, and Assessment of Learning Outcomes. Based on the data obtained, it can be seen that the highest normalized N-gain value is obtained by the component "subject matter", namely 93.16% and "determining learning resources" which is 91.74%. The lowest N-gain is achieved by the component of "learning outcomes assessment" which is equal to 71.79%. This shows that students pedagogical abilities in developing "subject matter" and "determining learning resources" and are difficult in "learning outcomes assessment". However, when referring to the normalized N-gain average value of 85.47%, it means that there has been an increase in pedagogical abilities of prospective physics teacher students during the implementation of the EXDO learning model.
