Jigsawing.

Answer 1

Jigsawing involves organizing a group activity where students work together to achieve a specific goal. It helps reduce tension and unproductive competition in the classroom. It enhances active listening where students engage with each other and are able to work on their skills in teamwork, communication and critical thinking. The teacher gives a task and organizes students in small groups called home groups. Each student is assigned a small chunk of the work which requires them to work together in order to successfully complete the task.
