Each piece of the puzzle is needed in order to
create the whole picture.
Each student is responsible for his or her own
success through the success of the group.
| Jigsaw Grouping is a cooperative learning technique that has each participant responsible for completing and understanding one part of the whole. Each participant must share his or her knowledge effectively with the group to complete the “puzzle”. |
The group learns to work together and care about one another
and a level of trust and interdependence develops.
Competition is replaced with cooperation to achieve the common
goal of a finished product or a good grade.
No one individual can do it all alone.
Each student becomes an "expert" and teaches the rest of the
home group.
