COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGY
Description
The jigsaw strategy is a research-based
cooperative learning technique
invented and developed in the early
1970s by Elliot Aronson and his
students at the University of Texas and
the University of California. Since 1971,
thousands of classrooms have used
jigsaw with great success.

 This strategy enables each student of a
“home” group to specialize in one aspect of
a learning unit.

Students meet with members from other

groups who are assigned the same aspect,
“expert group” ,

and after mastering the material, return to

the “home group” and teach the material to
their group members

Jigsaw Puzzle Strategy
“Was first used in 1971 in Austin, Texas.

Elliot Aronson and his graduate students invented the jigsaw strategy that year,

as a matter of absolute necessity to help defuse an explosive situation.

The city's schools had recently been desegregated, and because Austin had always

been racially segregated, white youngsters, African-American youngsters, and

Hispanic youngsters found themselves in the same classrooms for the first time.

Within a few weeks, long-standing suspicion, fear, and distrust between groups

produced an atmosphere of turmoil and hostility.

Jigsaw Puzzle Strategy

Fist-fights erupted in corridors and schoolyards across the city.

The school superintendent called me in to see if we could do anything to help

students get along with one another.

After observing what was going on in classrooms for a few days, my students and I

concluded that inter-group hostility was being fueled by the competitive

environment of the classroom.”

6. Pagkatapos ng indibidwal na gawain, magsasama-

sama ang mga mag-aaral na may parehong babasahin.
Magbibigay ang guro ng 5 minuto para talakayin nila
ang kanilang babasahin at pagkumparahin ang mga
During the Lesson sagot sa worksheet.

7. Pagkatapos ng talakayan, babalik ang mag-aaral sa

para sa talakayan. Kukumpletuhin din nila ang mga
sagot sa kanilang worksheet.

8. Ipapasa ang worksheet ng mga mag-aaral upang

makita ng guro ang kanilang mga sagot. Ito ang
magsisilbing formative assessment sa araw na ito.
