摘要:The present study investigates the effects of Jigsaw I, one of the techniques in cooperative
learning, on student success in social studies course and in the study pre-test post-test control group design, one
of the experimental designs, has been used. As a data collection instrument, an achievement test that included
“My Far Away Friends” unit was developed and applied as pre-test and post-test. While this unit was taught by
means of cooperative learning by the researchers to the experiment group, it was taught using traditional method
by the class teacher to the control group. In order to evaluate the data SPSS programme was used. As a result, it
was determined that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test points of the control and
experiment groups. In addition, the success level of the two groups of students showed a significant difference
between pre and post implementation. In other words, it was found significant that being the member of these
groups, in which different methods were applied, and repetitive measurement had a common effect on the
success in social studies course. Therefore, it is thought that cooperative learning is much more effective than
traditional method.
