More Information on What is a Jigsaw...
WHY DO A JIGSAW? ..............
1. Students have the opportunity to teach themselves, instead of having material presented to them. The technique fosters depth of understanding.
2. Each student has practice in self-teaching, which is the most valuable of all the skills we can help them learn.
3. Students have practice in peer teaching, which requires that they understand the material at a deeper level than students typically do when simply asked to produce on an exam.
4. Students "talk the subject matter" and become more fluent in use of the terminology.
5. Each student has a chance to contribute meaningfully to a discussion, something that is difficult to achieve in large-group discussion. Each student develops an expertise and has something important to contribute.
