Jigsaw cooperative learning trials in optical graduate course

Abstract

The most challenging part of preparing courses for graduate students might be the diversity background of the students. Traditional lectures do hardly satisfy or benefit all of them, which might lead to inactive in the class, especially when the courses are professionally concentrated. Jigsaw cooperative learning (JCL), a student-centered learning method that engages all students and is beneficial in facilitating relationship building, might be an alternative solution. Two rounds of trials were made in an optical graduate course 'Optical Interferometric Measurement (OIM)'. In this paper, we would like share some experience on the JCL trials made in the scientific knowledge-dense course.
