Jigsaw technique as an innovative teaching method!
The jigsaw technique is a method of organizing classroom activity that makes learners dependent on each other to succeed!
- A tried-and-trusted cooperative learning technique that allows students to create their own learning.
- Learners are divided into groups and each group is given different pieces of information that they have to learn sufficiently to teach to another group.
- This allows learners to become experts in what they have learnt as they teach others. When every group has learnt their information, they are arranged into new groups, made up of a member of each of the small groups, like a jigsaw of different information pieces coming together into each new group.
- Every member then shares what they have learnt, bringing the lessons to life, and enabling students to create their own learning by engaging with one another and the material.
