Education

Each student holds one piece the group needs

In education, the jigsaw is a cooperative-learning structure in which material is split into parts, each group member becomes responsible for one part and teaches it to the others, so that no student can succeed without the pieces held by peers. Blaney and colleagues' 1977 Interdependence in the classroom: A field study tested the method in newly desegregated schools and reported gains in liking for groupmates and in self-esteem relative to traditional classes. The referent is an interdependence-based grouping technique, evaluated by achievement, attitude, and intergroup measures, and it has nothing in common with a gene-prediction algorithm beyond the picture of separate pieces completing a whole.[1]

Unit
The learning and intergroup outcomes of distributing material across interdependent members
