The Jigsaw Group method was developed by Aronson (1979) \nas a way of increasing interdependence and cooperation. \nThe method also aims to increase the academic \nperformance of less able students while still allowing gifted \nstudents to flourish. The Wiki activity we are doing is a form \nof jigsaw groups. The method involves dividing a large \nsubject (e.g. thinking tools) into smaller topics (e.g. Jigsaw \nGroups) and assigning them to groups of students. The \ngroups research their topics thoroughly and then present \ntheir findings for the rest of the group. The students discuss \ntheir thoughts on the \"big picture\" and how all the pieces of \nthe jigsaw fit together. This would be good method to use for \nstudents who have a grasp of research skills and can clearly \ncommunicate their findings.
