Enhancing College Students’ Procedural Knowledge of Physics Using Blended Jigsaw-IV Problem-Solving Instruction

Abstract

Jigsaw-IV Problem-solving method is innovative active learning instruction used to improve college student’s learning. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of Jigsaw-IV problem-solving instruction on preservice physics teachers' (PSPT) procedural knowledge in college of teacher education in the Southern nation nationality region of Ethiopia. The study involves 136 first year PSPTs who are attending their preservice teacher education program in four colleges of teacher education. To achieve the goal of the study, a quasi-experimental research method with the pretest-posttest design was used. Procedural knowledge test was used for Data collection. The reliability of the test was checked using KR-20 and found to be 0.83. In treatment groups one, two, and three, the TECDRER (Thinking, Exploring, Choosing, and Manipulating), Discussing, Reflecting, Evaluating, and Re-teaching) model used in Jigsaw-IV problem-solving strategies (J-IVPSS), Jigsaw-IV (J-IV), and Problem Solving Strategies (PSS) were employed, while the customary method was employed for the comparison group. After checking all necessary assumption the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as ANOVA and ANCOVA. The results showed that treatment groups performed significantly better than the comparison group. It was suggested that the J-IVPSS is a good approach to enhance PSPT's Procedural knowledge.

Effectiveness of The Internet of Things (IoT)-Based Jigsaw Learning Model on Students' Creative Thinking Skills: A- Meta-Analysis

“…The Jigsaw learning model is a cooperative learning model that guides students to study in groups (Usman et al, 2022;Safkolam et al, 2023;Affandi et al, 2022). The Jigsaw learning model encourages students to work together and think creatively in learning (Haviz & Lufri, 2019;Cashata et al, 2023;Saputra et al, 2019;Mukrimaa et al, 2016). The jigsaw learning model can train students to be more active and have responsibility in completing a particular task (Berger & Hänze, 2015).…”

The Influence of the Jigsaw Model Based on Higher Order Thinking Skills on Students 21st Century Skills : Meta-Analysis

“…The Jigsaw learning model is a learning model that can encourage students' 21 st century thinking skills (Saputra et al, 2019;Zainil et al, 2023). The jigsaw learning model is a learning model that designs origin group and expert group patterns to encourage students to take responsibility in the learning process (Abed et al, 2019;Cashata et al, 2023). This jigsaw learning model can train students to be more active and creative in learning (Usman et al, 2022;Septiani et al, 2020;Azmin, 2015).…”
