Through the Jigsaw method, I gained a deeper understanding of the constituents that contribute to a positive classroom culture. Specifically to the constituent of 'building trust', I learnt that teachers need to be honest, reliable, fair, professional and competent. Building trust is especially crucial when it comes to establishing TSR. Hence, it is important for teachers to take initiative when it comes to building trust with students.

The Jigsaw method allows us to gather and learn large amount of information in a much shorter time than required if we did it all alone. But I also feel that it needs the teacher to vet and consolidate for students to feel assured that their answers are correct. -Peak Deng

Everyone has the opportunity to share what they have learnt in the respective expert groups. Moreover,  through this sharing, I feel that we are able to learn more in one lesson compare to a traditional teacher-student classroom.

Jigsaw method provides each individual an opportunity to become “experts” in a particular topic and empower each member to carry out peer teaching. It helps to promote both self-learning as well as group collaboration.

It is the first time I used jigsaw method in class and find it very effective. It will be fun to use this method in classroom teaching where each student get a chance to become expert and share within their groups.
Through jigsaw method, I gained a lot of information about STP. Peer sharing deepened my understanding about how to create a positive classroom culture.

I feel that the Jigsaw method is effective because the expert group is assigned only one topic, thus they are able to explore deeper into the topic.

Through the jigsaw technique, it allows us to gather all the information in a short period of time and share our learning on that topic assigned. I feel that it is a very efficient way of cooperative learning. In addition, it also gives each member of the group an important role to play and eventually become the expert of that particular topic assigned.

The jigsaw technique empowered us to explore on our own and execute self-directed learning. After that we practiced what we learnt by sharing with the group mates and discussing the controversial points for better understanding.

I have a better understanding of some of the pedagogical practices. With the jigsaw puzzle technique, we were able to understand the different practices in a shorter period of time. It is also a pedagogy that allows the group member to practice teamwork and collaboration.

The power of “I” massage can be really useful as student feel encouraged to be good, not forced to do so. Building positive relationship starts with teacher so we can be cool but also need to chill with students when needed.

I have a deeper understanding of the pedagogical practices being utilised in Primary education through the Jigsaw techniques especially through the discussion in our respective expert groups. I like how progressive learning is conducted throughout the entire lesson in order for us to gain in depth learning. The rotation in groups provides a platform for exchanging of different perspectives as well.

I think that through the use of Jigsaw method, we can grasp many different aspects of positive classroom culture within a shorter time. It is interesting and informative to know that there are many factors which contribute to a positive classroom learning environment. Many of these can be applied in my future classroom teaching.

The Jigsaw method really involved everyone participate in the discussion, this also helped to build a good team bonding as well as a positive classroom culture. In addition, this method encouraged everyone to be "expert" in his/her own part, it is a good way to activate self learning. After sharing with the whole group, everyone could have a better understanding for the topic as well.

In session 2, we discussed about how to set positive classroom culture. The jigsaw method allowed us to discuss on a particular area in depth, then we can share our points with each other in our home group. This allows me to gain more insights on the different areas on setting positive classroom culture. For example, to maintain positive discipline in classroom, we can make use of suitable verbal cues and use reward system to reinforce positive behaviours. What surprise me was we have to work on an “action plan” for an assumed class profile we set at the start of the lesson. We started to brainstorm about how to make use of these strategies to tackle the students that we may face in the real classrooms. The different areas( establish interaction and rapport, maintaining positive discipline, setting expectations and routines, building trusts, empowering learners) are actually not independent from each other. When we look at how to form a plan, we need to consider all different areas at all times. For instance, in the first lesson, we need to connect with students and set some basic ground rules , which involves “ establishing interaction and rapport” and “setting expectations and routines”. And in fact, we would need to look at other areas as well. After session 2, I realised successful classroom management need careful planning and thorough consideration on different factors, we have to think about it before we step on for he first lesson.

Jigsaw is a grouping strategy which focus on cooperative learning. Through the process, I learnt that this strategy promotes engagement and empathy by giving each member of the group an essential role to play in the activity. I feel this strategy is useful because it allows each group "experts" to become knowledgable and are given the empowerment to teach others. Hence, it saves time and benefits students as they learn from each other. I hope to be able to incorporate this teaching strategy in my teaching.

After the lesson, I had a much clearer idea how to craft class rules and routines. We shouldn’t create too many routines for students to follow at beginning of the year. We could set routines and rules based on cases happened in classroom. To deliver the knowledge to students with different level of ability, we need to differentiate the instructions to them. To empower learners, we could set different sets of worksheets. This could encourage students with lower ability to learn academic knowledge to believe that they also able to do well in class.

Session 2 was my first time being involved in the Jigsaw method as a participant. I think it is an effective way for exchanging ideas, as well as promoting collaboration and interaction among peers. It also ensures that each and every participant has a crucial role to play as he or she would be responsible for conveying the expert knowledge to the home group. The final task of constructing an action plan was also very meaningful as it helped in consolidating all the material that was discussed and make the link between theory and practice.
