There are three main areas in which jigsaw group activities
can be assessed:
Assessment of content knowledge
projects, quizzes, assignments or other evaluations
measuring knowledge of content and concepts covered in the jigsaw format.
Assessment of group skills
self and peer evaluation, rating scales and
rubrics to gauge interpersonal skill development and students skills
to work as effective group members.
Assessment of learning process
rubrics, checklists and anecdotal observations
of the process through which the content knowledge was gained and shared.
The best assessment tools consider all three areas
in determining the final assessment of students and their work.
