Effect of Jigsaw vs. Traditional Group Work on 8th Graders’ Basic Science Process Skills achievement in Laboratory

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of Jigsaw-

Integrating Smartphone-Controlled Paper Airplane Into Gamified Science Inquiry for Junior High School Students

“…Research have emphasized the importance of fostering students’ science process skills, which are described as cognitive and investigative abilities involving in the procedure and method of scientific investigations (Gillies & Nichols, 2015; Majeed & Rana, 2018). Indeed, the improvement of science process skills is one of the goals of science education (Afnidar & Hamda, 2015; Majeed & Rana, 2018). Over the past decade, researchers have proposed several methods for the teaching of science process skills.…”

“…Over the past decade, researchers have proposed several methods for the teaching of science process skills. Their research focused on laboratory activities or hands-on activities that were either based on a science inquiry approach (Koksal & Berberoglu, 2014; Lati et al., 2012; Leonor, 2015; Rahmani et al., 2013), a problem-based learning approach (Taşoğlu & Bakaç, 2010; Turiman et al., 2012), an engineering design (Strong, 2013), or a cooperative learning approach (Guevara, 2015; Majeed & Rana, 2018). Among these studies, science inquiry has emerged as an effective learning method that can enhance students’ science process skills (Koksal & Berberoglu, 2014; Lati et al., 2012).…”
