Paper Abstract:
|
Students everywhere are increasingly expecting to learn content that is immediately relevant to the degree they are
preparing for. The negative implication of this is that they generally lack the motivation to study the fundamentals and
understand in-depth material that they may not yet see the use for. Based on our previous experience with inquiry-based
learning methodologies, and given the course content and the number of students in class we felt that a collaborative
inquiry-based approach would encourage students to actively participate in their learning, motivate them to learn differently
than in traditional ways, and inspire them to share information with their classmates. Results using the Jigsaw methodology
show that some of the more positive effects were teamwork and being forced to understand and prepare well enough to
be able to explain clearly to your colleagues. On the negative side, some students found the number of presentations to be
excessive and some thought that they knew less about the material that they had not prepared themselves than they would
have known had they followed a traditional teaching method. |
