Applying the jigsaw learning method to structural kinesiology

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The jigsaw learning approach divides complex anatomical concepts into manageable subtopics for students to learn in small groups. This method then fosters collaborative learning and peer teaching to communicate subtopics to others, putting together the whole puzzle of a concept. By assuming dual roles as learners and teachers, students develop critical thinking, communication, and teamwork skills. We provide a detailed framework for implementing jigsaw learning in undergraduate structural kinesiology courses.
