Valdez, Christine Joy I. Teaching Strategies in Biology Objectives Introduction Content Structure Benefits Challenges and How to Overcome Them Applications Conclusion Assessment  Teaching Strategies in Biology Objectives 1.Identify the steps of the jigsaw teaching method and how it promotes collaborative learning. 2.Explain the theoretical foundations and historical background of the jigsaw strategy. 3.Acknowledge the role of peer teaching in enhancing learning through the jigsaw strategy. 4.Value the importance of equal participation and individual accountability within collaborative learning environments. 5.Organize and facilitate small group discussions using the jigsaw method, ensuring active participation from all group members. 6.Demonstrate effective communication and presentation skills when teaching peers about your assigned segment of the jigsaw method. Introduction Teaching Strategies in Biology Definition Definition Definition A cooperative classroom The Jigsaw Teaching It has been used learning strategy in Method is a strategy successfully to teach which each group that emphasizes comprehension member leaves her cooperative learning. strategies in content- home-based group to area subjects. join another group with an expert in some other aspect of a topic. Introduction Teaching Strategies in Biology Development Reason The jigsaw method of Aronson developed this teaching is a strategy method as a means to first developed by Elliot assist students in Aronson in 1971 and overcoming learning further advanced in gaps in recently assessment practices by desegregated schools in Robert Slavin in 1986. Austin, Texas. Proponents Teaching Strategies in Biology Difference: In Jigsaw I, students are assessed individually and receive just one score. In Jigsaw II, quiz scores are given once to individual students, then each group’s scores are averaged to generate a group score. This builds in competition between groups and encourages students to work Jigsaw I Jigsaw II harder at helping each other (Elliot Aronson, 1971) (Robert Slavin, 1986) learn the material well. Purpose Teaching Strategies in Biology 1 2 3 It builds student It encourages cooperative It helps improve listening, comprehension. learning among students. communication and problem-solving skills  Teaching Strategies in Biology STRUCTURE & PROCESS A. Formation of Home and Expert Groups Home Groups These are small, diverse students who will work together throughout the jigsaw activity. Expert Groups are groups of students who specialize in a particular topic or aspect of the overall lesson.  Teaching Strategies in Biology STRUCTURE & PROCESS B. Step-by-step breakdown 1. Each student is designated to a home group Each will read the delegated subtopic to them 2.Students in Expert Groups research a topic Brainstorming 3. They return to Home Groups to teach their peers  Teaching Strategies in Biology STRUCTURE & PROCESS C. Emphasis on collaboration and individual responsibility Collaboration Jigsaw teaching strategies emphasize collaboration among students. By working in both Home and Expert Groups, students learn to wor k together ef f ectively andshar e their knowledge with others. Individual responsibility Students are responsible for learning their assigned topic and teaching it to their Home Gr oup. This helps to f oster individual accountability and encourages students to take ownership of their learning.  Teaching Strategies in Biology BENEFITS OF THE JIGSAW STRATEGY Enhances engagement and active learning Cooperative learning leads to peer norms that promote academic excellence. This is cr itical because peer norms drive adolescent behavior (Slavin, 19 95). Promotes teamwork and social skills Teachers that employ cooperative learning regularly report increases in student motivation, peer cooperation, and academic per f or mance (Slavin & Cooper, 1999).  Teaching Strategies in Biology BENEFITS OF THE JIGSAW STRATEGY Supports the development of critical thinking and communication Cooperative learning leads to increased student capacity for demonstrating high -level reasoning, generating new solutions, and applying learning in new contexts (Johnson & Johnson, 1999). Encourages inclusivity in diverse classrooms Cooperative learning nurtures the development of peer relationships among diverse students (Johnson & Johnson, 1999). Teaching Strategies in Biology Application of Jigsaw Method In classroom Reading Comprehension Teachers can divide and assign text sections to students, who then teach their key points to the group, ensuring full understanding. Science Experiments Each group member can focus on a different step of an experiment and share insights to ensure full understanding. Teaching Strategies in Biology Application of Jigsaw Method In classroom History Projects Students can research specific aspects of a historical period and present their findings to create a complete picture. Language Learning Students can practice language skills by teaching each other assigned parts of a dialogue or gr ammar r ules. Problem-Solving Activities In math or problem -solving, students can divide and conquer the problem, sharing their solutions to understand the entire process. Challenges & How to Teaching Strategies in Biology Manage Them Despite research, many cooperative learning lessons fail due to ineffective implementation. One common reason for these failures lies in a lack of distinction between group work and cooperative learning. Students Do Not Divide Evenly Ideal group size is divisible, but absences can disrupt plans. Solution First, remember that you can create groups of 4, 5, or 6 (and some jigsaw advocates even allow for groups of 2 or 3), so that should help minimize “extra” students. Still, if you end up with a few extras, just assign two students in the same group the same chunk. Challenges & How to Teaching Strategies in Biology Manage Them What if some “experts” don’t teach the material very well? In uneven groups , consider pairing tw o students to work on the same section, especially if they complement each other’s strengths. Expert groups ensure all members are prepared to teach their material. Provide extra support to struggling students. Unequal Participation Some students might dominate the discussion , while others may not participate actively. Assigning specific roles like speaker, note-taker, or questioner ensures all students contribute. Teachers can also monitor groups to promote balanced participation. Challenges & How to Teaching Strategies in Biology Manage Them Time Management Managing time effectively can be difficult, especially if students need more time to teach or learn their sections. Set clear time limits for each stage —reading, teaching, and discussion. Teachers can also practice the method with simpler tasks to help students get comfortable with the structure. Dependence on Group Members If one student doesn’t prepare well or struggles to explain their part, the whole group’s learning can be affected. Encourage questions and provide support to promote collaboration. Challenges & How to Teaching Strategies in Biology Manage Them Classroom Dynamics If students don’t work well together or are reluctant to engage, the Jigsaw method may not be as effective. Foster a positive classroom culture by promoting teamwork and respect. Teachers should carefully assign groups to include a mix of personalities and skills and rotate them regularly to enhance cooperation skills. Conclusion Teaching Strategies in Biology Jigsaw learning fosters student- Jigsaw learning is centered learning by encouraging adaptable to diverse collaboration, responsibility, critical classrooms, fostering thinking, and social skills. collaboration, social- emotional skills, critical It is suitable for large amounts of thinking, and content and can be used over independent learning. multiple days.
