Abstract

The jigsaw method is a form of collaborative learning in which students work in small groups to thoroughly understand a topic and then teach it to their classmates. This study is conducted at a university with a student body that is demographically and racially representative of the institution. The primary goals of this research are to determine how the jigsaw approach affects students’ participation, collaboration, and critical thinking. This research will contribute to our understanding of how the jigsaw method can be used to improve the teaching of blockchain at the engineering undergraduate level. The research aims to benefit teachers, curriculum designers, and academic administrators by demonstrating the effects it has on students’ motivation and performance in the classroom. The findings will be used to enhance blockchain education at the engineering undergraduate level by informing the implementation and optimization of the jigsaw method.
