JIGSAW METHOD

       

      Cooperative classroom- or jigsaw method is a research based on cooperative learning technique. It helps students to learn together and meet new people. This method benefit to socialize and learn together. For example; students can be a friend or know new people who they do not talk or meet before. I think that students can take responsibility with the help of this method. For instance; students sometimes do not want to do homework by their own, using this method can encourage the students to do homework. Also students learn that people can understand and interpret differently on the same topic. With the help of this method students learn to share their knowledge properly. This method can make the lesson enjoyable because students think, speak, share and more importantly learn new knowledge by their own. Also, this method decrease the teachers responsibility about teaching the lecture in detail because teacher gives responsibility to the students. Teacher is guide and facilitator in this method. Teacher can help or answer the question of the students if students need. I think that beside all of these advantages this method also has disadvantage. I think that the use of this method in crowd class is not appropriate. Teachers can have difficulty to contol the class. At the same time there would be so much sound which is not appropriate for learning and teaching a lesson. Briefly I think that this method has both advantage and disadvantage. If conditions are suitable to make a lesson with this method then it would be both entertainment and informative.
