Abstract

This research study aims to find the academic achievement of 8th grade mathematics students in factorization by the comparison of Jigsaw method and the traditional method. A quasi-experimental, pre-test/post-test research study with control and experimental groups was used to examine the effect of the Jigsaw method. The researchers selected two government institutions; one was taken as an experimental group with 41 students and the other school was considered a control group with 42 students. The mathematical achievement of students was measured through MCQs test. The duration of the experiment was eight weeks. There was no significant difference was found between control and experimental group students on the pre-test. Post-test data were analysed by using an independent t-test. A Significant difference was found between the groups of students taught through Jigsaw and traditional method in factorization. The results showed that the Jigsaw method increased the academic achievement of the students in factorization. So, it was suggested that Jigsaw method would be beneficial for the students of mathematics at grade 8.
