The Jigsaw teaching strategy is a cooperative learning approach that involves sub-dividing home groups into expert groups to work on different aspects of a larger topic or project. Each expert group is responsible for mastering a particular subtopic or component, and then individual members teach their findings to their home group. This method is designed to encourage participation, collaboration, and critical thinking, while also promoting a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Here's an example of how the Jigsaw strategy could be applied in a college-level business program:
For example, let's say the topic is "Marketing Strategies for Small Businesses." The expert group topics could be:
Each group would research their specific subtopic and create a presentation that explains the basics, best practices, and examples of their marketing strategy. Then, the groups would present their findings to their home groups, who could ask questions and engage in discussions. Finally, the class would wrap up with a discussion on how all these marketing strategies could be combined to create a comprehensive marketing plan for a small business. Need more ideas?
