Scenario/Extract:
The class is divided into four groups of five students, and each student in the group is assigned a number from one through five. All the "ones" are given a topic of research, the "twos" another topic, and so on. Students work with peers who are assigned the same topic to take notes. After a period of researching with their peers, the original groups come together and students take turns teaching other members of their group about their assigned topic.
The collaboration activity is known as
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The jigsaw strategy effectively promotes collaboration by dividing a topic into segments, allowing each student to become an expert on one part before teaching it to their peers. This method fosters interdependence and enhances understanding through peer teaching.
Think-pair-share (A) is a valuable strategy for individual reflection and brief discussions but lacks the depth of collaborative learning found in jigsaw. Literature circles (B) focus on reading and discussing texts in small groups, which, while collaborative, do not emphasize the same structured peer-teaching approach. Fishbowl discussion (C) involves observing and participating in a group dialogue, but it does not inherently require each student to contribute equally to the learning process.
