Beyond traditional boundaries: Exploring the jigsaw method to strengthen academic achievement in biology

Cooperative teaching methods have emerged as a significant paradigm shift from traditional teaching methods, highlighting notable benefits that have a profound influence on academic achievement. Guided by previous studies on cooperative teaching methods, we examined the effectiveness of teaching methods (jigsaw vs. lecture-cum-demonstration methods) on the academic achievement of biology among class 11 students. The sample comprised 68 students in class 11. In a school setting, 35 participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group, and 33 were assigned to the control group. The study utilized a quasiexperimental research design to assess the effectiveness of different teaching methods. Specifically, a nonequivalent control group design was employed, comprising one experimental group and one control group. To ensure comparability between the groups in terms of academic performance, Raven's Progressive Matrices Intelligence test score was used as a covariate. The results revealed that class 11 biology students in the experimental group had notably higher test scores than did those in the control group. Additionally, the study revealed that gender did not significantly influence academic achievement in biology for class 11 students when intelligence was used as a covariate. The academic achievement of class 11 biology students appears to be independent of the interaction between gender and method of teaching. We explicitly demonstrate that the jigsaw technique can enhance the biology achievement of senior secondary school students and can serve as an effective alternative to traditional experimental teaching methods in India.

Potential of active learning in dentistry: A comparative study of Jigsaw versus inquired-based learning.

To compare the efficacy of Jigsaw and Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) methods in promoting effective learning outcomes within diverse dental educational settings. A total of 188 dental undergraduate students were recruited for the study and divided into Batch A (n=96) and Batch B (n=92). Each batch underwent two teaching sessions, one using the Jigsaw method and the other using IBL. A structured questionnaire using five-point Likert scales assessed students' preferences between the two methods. Pre- and post-intervention tests were conducted to measure knowledge acquisition. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test with STATA version 17, with a p-value of<0.05 considered significant. Both Jigsaw and IBL methods significantly improved students' knowledge, with mean scores showing a significant difference before and after interventions (p<0.001). IBL was more effective in comprehensive topic coverage (99.46%) and enhancing subject understanding. Both methods yielded comparable outcomes in terms of improving communication skills. The Jigsaw method was simpler and more enjoyable, encouraging active participation and enhancing communication skills. IBL promoted critical thinking, research skills, and deeper comprehension of concepts. Jigsaw and IBL methods are both effective in enhancing dental education. The choice between these methods depends on the specific learning objectives, the complexity of the topic, and the preferences of the dental educator and students.

Does the Jigsaw method improve motivation and self-regulation in vocational high schools?

Although much has been written about the beneficial effects of the Jigsaw method, little is known about how it affects students' motivation and self-regulation processes. In this study, we tested its effects on students' trajectories of autonomous mathematics motivation and academic self-regulation. We also examined whether these effects could be moderated by the students’ cooperative attitudes and initial mathematics achievement level. 4,698 students from French vocational high schools participated in the study over two years. They were divided into three groups: 1,641 were assigned to a cooperative learning condition with the Jigsaw method, 1,602 to a weakly structured cooperative learning condition, and 1,455 to a business-as-usual learning condition. Self-reported mathematics motivation, academic self-regulation, and cooperative attitudes were collected three times during the study. Overall, the multilevel growth model results indicate a general decline in students’ motivation and self-regulation, and student-reported cooperative attitudes did not moderate these effects. However, the trajectories of motivation and self-regulation differed by condition for low-achieving students. While these trajectories decreased over time amongst low-achieving students in the Jigsaw method condition and in the weakly structured cooperation condition, they were stable in the business-as-usual learning condition. These results provide a new perspective since they seem to question the implementation conditions of the Jigsaw method for low-achieving students.

Utilizing the Power of Cooperative Learning to Teach Controversial Topics such as Genetically Modified Organisms

Some topics are controversial and, as a consequence, difficult to teach. I describe a cooperative teaching and learning strategy that combines the “Jigsaw method” with the “Six thinking hats” of de Bono. This allows students to work together in expert groups while investigating the topic from different perspectives. Students then provide feedback to each other, where all perspectives are shared in the home group.

Interprofessional Faculty Development on Health Disparities: Engineering a Crossover “Jigsaw” Journal Club

Medical education acknowledges our need to teach our physicians about “social determinants of health” and “health care disparities”. However, educators often lack actionable training to address this need. We describe a faculty development activity, a health disparities journal club, using the jigsaw strategy with the intent of increasing awareness, encouraging self-directed learning, and inspiring future teaching of the subject to health professional learners. We completed six workshops at six individual hospitals, with 95 total attendees in medicine and numerous other health professions. Our evaluation asked trainees to: report the number of journal articles about health disparities they had read, excluding the assigned journal club articles, in the past 12 months, and to predict future plans for reading about health disparities. In total, 28.9% responded they had “never read” a prior article on health or healthcare disparities, while 54.2% responded “1–5 articles”. Many (60%) reported they would continue to investigate this topic. Our experience has demonstrated the utility and positive impact of a “flipped classroom” jigsaw method, showing it can be used successfully in Inter-Professional (IPE) Faculty Development to increase active exposure and discussion of the content. Additionally, this method promotes individual reflection and enhances continued collective engagement.

Passive Voice Teaching: Recent Trends and Effective Strategies

This study investigates current practices and useful methods for teaching passive voice. To find effective teaching strategies, a thorough review of the literature produced between 2018 and 2024 was undertaken. Using keywords associated with passive voice instruction, data was gathered from academic sources, and thirty pertinent papers were chosen for examination. The Experience, Generalization, Reinforcement, Application (EGRA) method, task-based learning, cooperative learning, flashcards, and web-based storytelling are just a few of the successful teaching techniques that thematic analysis identified. These strategies improve learning outcomes, comprehension, and student engagement. It was stressed that context-based learning is crucial to knowing when and how to employ passive voice. It has been discovered that technology, especially web-based storytelling, increases student engagement and recall of material. Students' memory and understanding were also enhanced by the Jigsaw method and inductive training. In general, it was discovered that teaching passive voice may be accomplished effectively using a range of teaching techniques, such as active learning and technology integration. To learn more about these strategies' long-term consequences and how they affect different student demographics, more study is required.

The Effect of Jigsaw Method on Students’ Reading Comprehension at Junior High School Students

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of role-playing in teaching speaking skills to students of class XI 19 Senior High School Makassar, and whether there is a significant difference between students who are trained in speaking skills using conventional methods and students who use role-playing techniques. This study uses a quantitative approach, namely experimental research with a pre-test and post-test research design and the sample of this study is 60 students. Researchers used two clasess and experimental class using role-playing techiquess and a control class using concetional methods. Meanwhile, in the last stage, the researcher gave a post-test in the same class to find out whether the role-playing techiquess was effective in teaching students speaking skills in the experimental class. The results of this study show the average pre-test in the experimental class (59.87%) and the control class (60.93%). The post-test average of the experimental class (84.40%) was higher than that of the control class (64.53%). This means that there is a difference between students who use role-playing techniquess abd students who uses conventional techniquess. Thus, teaching speaking using role-playing techniquess has a significant effect on improving students speaking skills. Therefore, it is suggested that the role- playing techniquess can be applied as an affective learning method for teachers to teach speaking skills anf for future researchers to use the same type of research under different conditions.

Application of The Jigsaw Method in Learning Islamic Religious Education at SMAN 1 Sumberasih

The application of the Jigsaw Method in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) Learning at SMAN 1 Sumberasih is an innovation to empower the learning process. This method aims to encourage student cooperation, develop social skills, and deepen understanding of PAI material. The teacher divides students into small groups with the task of studying certain parts of the material, such as the pillars of prayer, prayer procedures, and the importance of prayer in Islam. Students become experts in the part studied and rejoin a new group consisting of members from each original group. In this new group, they share knowledge, encourage collaboration, and learn from each other. Basically the Jigsaw Method involves dividing learning material into small parts which are then given to groups of students. Each group will be responsible for studying a specific section of the material. After understanding the material well, each group member will return to their original group and teach the part they have learned to other group members. PAI learning using the Jigsaw method does not only focus on mastering the material, but also develops social aspects and skills that are important in everyday life. . This creates a dynamic learning atmosphere, motivates students to be actively involved, and increases their understanding of Islamic teachings and their application in everyday life.
