Learning vocabulary through the jigsaw technique - Thursday, - August 01, 2013 12:30 PM - Dr. Nellie Deutsch
The Jigsaw method is a cooperative learning technique in which students work in small groups. Jigsaw can be used in a variety of ways for a variety of goals, but it is primarily used for the acquisition and presentation of new material, review, or informed debate. In this method, each group member is assigned to become an "expert" on some aspect of a unit of study. After reading about their area of expertise, the experts from different groups meet to discuss their topic, and then return to their groups and take turns teaching their topics to their group members.
The Jigsaw activity is used to:
Promote comprehension
Develop teamwork
Encourage cooperative learning
Improve listening communication
Practice problem-solving skills
This method is highly dependant upon group participation - I was rather disappointed in the lack of response from most of the group members, but could commiserate with them. Most members who actually did some work tried to do too much, making the process very large, long-winded, and complicated.
As with all group activities, each member should complete their assigned tasks or the adventure fails.
