Abstract

This research was motivated by the discovery of students who were less enthusiastic about reading and had difficulty understanding the text due to the lack of vocabulary they possessed. Students faced challenges in finding important information in the text. Therefore, the teacher used the jigsaw technique to facilitate knowledge sharing among peers. This study aimed to determine the implementation and constraints of the jigsaw technique. This research design was qualitative and conducted at SMAN 3 Bukittinggi. The informants in this study included an English teacher and two classes of eleventh-grade students. Data were collected through interviews and observations, which were then analyzed by gathering data, reducing data, and drawing conclusions. Based on the results of the research conducted, it was found that Teacher implemented 9 indicators, namely; (1) Divide the students into jigsaw groups of 5 or 6 participants. (2) Appoint one student as the leader for each group (3) Divide the day's lesson into five until six segments. (4) Each student is assigned to learn one chapter. (5) Give students time to read and familiarize themselves with their section, at least twice. (6) Shape temporary "expert groups". (7) Put the students back into their jigsaw groups. (8) Ask each student to present her or his chapter to the group. (9) Move from group to group, and watch the cycle. Teacher not implemented one indicator, namely; (1) Give a quiz on the content at the end of the session so that the students easily know that these sessions are not only fun and games but actually count. From the results of interviews with teachers and students, three problems were identified from five indicators: 1) Students lacked confidence in discussing the material with their peers; 2) Sufficient time and careful preparation were needed before this learning model could be effectively implemented; 3) The application of this method in larger classes (more than 40 students) proved to be very difficult.

Negative science shows a significant relationship in reverse if the anxiety value is high then the value is low and if the value is high then the anxiety is low.
