An Example of the Jigsaw Method

“Let’s learn about prenatal diagnosis and its different types.”

 

This is an example of a senior high school class combined with biology, health and physical education, and home economics. Expert groups of four first do research on one of the multiple types of “prenatal diagnosis.”

Then, form jigsaw groups comprising each member from different expert groups and let them compare and examine the multiple types of “prenatal diagnosis.” And let them organize the differences, purpose, and advantages/disadvantages of each type.

Let the students return to their original group (i.e., expert group), organize what they discussed in jigsaw groups, and compose reports.

This example is more complicated than the one shown in the “Implementation” section, which is called “Knowledge Constructive Jigsaw.” It also comprises the method of “poster tour.”
Students can learn about the multiple types of “prenatal diagnosis” and their differences and deepen their understanding of how “prenatal diagnosis” is conducted in real clinical settings.

An Example of Think-Pair-Share

“What did you learn in the last class?”

 

For a yearlong course, start the first several classes with this question until you get the pace of your classes.
It is a tool to clarify the emphasis on student output in your classes. You can also expect the following effects:

 

・It helps your students get along with each other by using it in the early stage of the course.

・It helps your students make it a habit to relate what they learned in the last class to what they will learn today.

・It helps your students clarify their memory and consciousness by outputting. It enables them to recall what they learned in the last class and relate it to what they will learn today.

・It helps your students realize the importance of how others learn by experiencing the difference in perspectives and expressions with other learners even if they are taking part in the same class.

• To be able to explain the significance of class design.
• To be able to explain what the ADDIE model is.
• To be able to select the appropriate active learning strategy in accordance with the objective.
• To be able to design a class in which students learn effectively.

DAY 3 Evaluation

DAY 4 Syllabus and Course Design
• To be able to list three or more roles of a syllabus.
• To be able to set appropriate course goals and objectives.

• To be able to improve the syllabus you have brought with clear reasons.

Through the above learning objectives, participants have worked on achieving the goals of the program as follows: “To experience and acquire practical knowledge and skills for delivering classes through mutual learning among participants coming from diverse fields to recognize the significance of ‘education’ as a duty of a future faculty member and to be able to design and conduct education from the students’ perspectives. And to acquire an attitude to continue exploring one’s possibilities as an educator.”

In the next session DAY 5 “Exercise in Giving Feedback on Lectures & Summary,” participants will conduct a poster tour to reflect on what they have learned so far and start preparing for DAY 6 and DAY 7 “Microteaching Session.”

Participants will design and practice a 6-min class based on what they have learned so far in the “Microteaching Session.” They will refine their classes through effective feedback given by the UTokyo FFP alumni.

Participants will work on these activities entirely online, which will be a precious experience for them.

The second half of the program will also be fulfilling to the participants toward the final session, DAY 8 “Envisioning Your Career Path by Creating a SAP Chart.”

We will make continuous efforts in delivering and refining UTokyo FFP-like online classes to play a leading role in making education online.
