What do you call a jigsaw activity where groups read or listen to different content and then report back to compare what they've learned?

• A. Jigsaw Reading/Listening
• B. Cooperative Learning
• C. Group Work
• D. Mixed-Ability Task

Answer: (A)

The main idea tested is the jigsaw method, a precise way to organize cooperative learning. In this setup, each group becomes an expert on a different piece of content—reading or listening to it—and then recombines with others to share and compare what they learned, building a complete understanding together. The label “Jigsaw Reading/Listening” captures both the activity (reading or listening) and the method (jigsaw) exactly as described. While cooperative learning describes the broader approach of students working together, it doesn’t specify this particular structure; group work is too general, and a mixed-ability task refers to grouping by ability rather than the expert-to-teacher rotation that defines a jigsaw.
