    The document discusses the jigsaw technique, an instructional strategy where students are assigned different parts of learning material to master individually and then must work together to combine their knowledge. It describes how jigsaw was developed to reduce tensions among diverse students and encourages cooperation. Key aspects covered include dividing content into sections for students to learn initially on their own before reconvening their expert groups to discuss their section and later their original home group to teach one another. Benefits highlighted are increased feelings of autonomy, personal accountability, and group collaboration.

    and answer the guide questions. After 10 minutes, she instructed each student
    with the same reading to sit together and compare their answers. They also
    need to highlight the important points and plan how to share it with their
    classmates. After another 10 minutes, students went back to their original
    group. They were each given time to discuss their parts and answer questions
    from their groupmates. While the group converses, Teacher Sharon roams
    around the room and check if the students are on the right track. After the
    discussion, an individual quiz was given to assess student learning.

    4. Assign each student in the home group to learn one segment.
    5. Give students enough time to comprehend and master their assigned
    segment.
    6. Form temporary expert groups by instructing students with the
    same segments to sit together. Give them enough time to discuss the
    main points, clarify questions, and rehearse the presentations they will
    make to their home group.
    7. After the given time, bring students back to their home groups.
    8. Ask each member to present his or her segment to the group. The
    leader should encourage the flow of discussion and the asking of
    questions.
    9. The teacher should roam around the classroom and observe the
    process. Make appropriate interventions for groups experiencing
    difficulties.

    also rotate the leadership so that all students will be given the opportunity
    to lead the discussion.
    2. Ensure that the given materials are of equal length and difficulty so that
    they can be mastered by all students within the given time limit, or
    possible, assign the materials based on students' abilities.
    3. In some cases, teachers skip the formation of expert groups, believing that
    individually mastering the segment is enough. The expert group is helpful
    especially in clarifying points which some students might find difficult to
    understand. So as much a possible, allow sufficient time for interaction
    among expert groups to ensure rich and deep discussions among students.
