Abstract

Participatory learning with the jigsaw technique is a pedagogical strategy for increasing student engagement and collaboration. This method divides students into small groups, with each group accountable for a specific piece of the curriculum, and encourages active involvement and peer-to-peer education. The main objective is to set up an environment where students feel motivated to acquire knowledge, be empowered to take responsibility for their education and develop their capacity to think critically. Instead of serving as the single source of information, the participatory learning strategy encourages Lecturers to act as facilitators or guides and actively encourage students to join the learning process. The results indicated that using the jigsaw approach in participatory learning dramatically enhances student learning outcomes and participation in the learning process. Furthermore, students provided excellent feedback on the jigsaw approach of participatory learning. Most students were pleased and at ease with this strategy, and they found it easier to absorb the topic and collaborate with their classmates. In conclusion, using the jigsaw approach in participatory learning can be an excellent way to improve learning outcomes and student engagement in the learning process. When implementing the jigsaw method, it is essential to determine the best way to achieve the best results. Lecturers should use this strategy while considering the learning context, student characteristics, and subject matter material to improve the learning outcomes, abstract either.
