Applying circuits - training method combined with jigsaw technique to promote students' positive characteristics

Abstract

Today, teachers should have the role of bringing learners from passiveness to activeness in the formation of qualities and competencies. Active learning - actually cognitive positivity - is a process, in which learners have the desire to understand, mobilize intelligence and put high energy into the process of acquiring knowledge. Learners should not be provided with designed lectures and ready knowledge, but they have to learn, analyze, practice handling situations and solving problems on their own. Applying active teaching techniques in the teaching process is one of the most effective ways to promote learners' positivity. In the scope of this article, we apply the form of station-based teaching combined with the puzzle technique to promote the students' activeness and initiative.
