2. Reciprocal Teaching

Reciprocal teaching is an interactive strategy
where students take turns leading
discussions or teaching concepts. This
approach emphasizes collaboration and

encourages deeper understanding through
dialogue.
How to implement:
Assign each student a specific topic or
question to present to the group.
Encourage active questioning,
summarizing, and elaboration during
discussions.
Monitor and guide the process to ensure
all members participate effectively.
Example: In a history class, one student
explains the causes of a historical event,
while others ask clarifying questions and
contribute additional insights.

3. Jigsaw Method

The Jigsaw Method divides a task into
smaller, interdependent pieces, assigning
each group member a portion of the material
to master and teach to the others. This
technique promotes positive
interdependence and accountability.
How to implement:
Divide the material into sections and
assign each section to a group member.

Allow students time to study their section
independently or in expert groups.
Reassemble the original group, where
each member teaches their section.
Example: In a biology lesson, one student
explains cell structures, another focuses on
functions, and a third discusses interactions
between cells.
