A teacher starts a physics project in a class. The students are arranged into groups of five members each, and each member is accountable for creating one individual component of the project. The five components of each group are then assembled to create a complete project. This is an example of

Assigning each group member one component that is then assembled into a whole is the Jigsaw cooperative learning technique.

Problem method (B) centres on solving a defined problem, not dividing parts among members.

Discussion method (C) is group talk on a topic, not each member owning a component.

Play-way learning (D) uses play and activity, unrelated to this division of tasks.

The Jigsaw technique was developed by Elliot Aronson in 1971.

Each member's part is essential, creating positive interdependence.
