Abstract
This research and development study aimed to 1) develop a jigsaw cooperative learning technique in the subject of ‘Nursing care of persons with health problems I and 2) investigate the effects of the jigsaw cooperative learning pattern on learning outcomes of nursing students. The study comprised three steps including 1) analyzing existing teaching practices; 2) developing a learning technique to counter any problems identified from the findings of the first step; 3) implementing and testing the new learning technique by comparison with the traditional teaching method on academic achievement and teamwork skills. Jigsaw, a cooperative learning technique, was selected to be evaluated in this area of study. The quasi-experimental with two groups pretest-posttest design was used in this step.
Eight nursing instructors who taught the topic of nursing care of persons with alterations in gastrointestinal function were interviewed. A convenient random sampling technique was used to select 12 out of 135 junior nursing students to be interviewed to identify the pedagogical situations. The sophomore students were selected for the sample of the intervention and randomly assigned into two groups: an experimental group (n = 35) and a control group (n =34) in the third step to evaluate the effectiveness of this teaching pattern. The research instruments used in step 1 were a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The third step used the academic test score and the teamwork skill score to evaluate the effectiveness of the jigsaw technique.
The findings revealed that there was a pedagogical problem at a moderate level. Students wanted a variety of teaching methods. The developed jigsaw cooperative learning consisted of four components: the preparation for teaching; the allocation of the group members; the actual teaching; and the evaluation. There was a statistical difference in favor of the experimental group on the academic test score at p=.05. The teamwork skill score after being taught using the jigsaw technique was significantly higher than those of before at p=.005.
