| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental | Experimental | Students in the Jigsaw technique group are divided into 5 home groups consisting of 8 people.Each student in the groups was randomly included to be an expert on a subject under 8 headings.In the home group, students assigned to different subject specializations were combined with students selected as experts in the same subject. This group was called the "expert group".The experts came together a week later, explained what they had learned on the common topic, discussed the topics they had taken notes while researching and reading in expert groups, and noted any additional points or missing parts they had learned. After completing their tasks in the expert groups, students returned to their home groups. They explained the information they learned in the expert group to each other in the home group, and as a home group, they brought together different topics and reported the main topic.
