TELucation article - The jigsaw puzzle method: A way to promote activating and student-centred teaching

Beschreibung

The jigsaw puzzle method is a teaching method from the field of group work. Particularly in university teaching the options, front-of-class teaching and individual assessment, are still preferred. Group work, on the other hand, is used relatively rarely. A fact often neglected is that the resulting teamwork can specifically promote key competencies that play a significant role in the professional life of graduates. This article aims to motivate teachers to use group work in their lessons and thus enrich the methodological diversity of their teaching. This article contains suggestions for the required materials and information on how to carry out the jigsaw puzzle method. That helps to get started with this teaching method and the didactic preparation. These suggestions and materials are a result of the repeated application of this teaching method in a course in the master's degree in civil engineering sciences.
