AB  - Cooperative learning methods have been widely used to maximize 
  students’ achievement and outcomes. 
  Jigsaw technique, a subset of cooperative learning was considered to be effective 
  in increasing significant educational outcomes, such as critical thinking and 
  problem solving skills. However, the implementation of jigsaw strategy requires 
  proper planning and management to obtain excellent results. This study shares 
  the common problems faced in engaging this strategy and suggestions to minimize 
  those problems. The population of study consists of 54 undergraduate students 
  in the Department of Electrical, Electronics and Systems Engineering, Universiti 
  Kebangsaan Malaysia. Comments made by the students were gathered at the end 
  of the year. The findings were analysed and the reflections on the technique 
  was discussed. It was concluded that the jigsaw technique is well received but 
  there are weaknesses in the implementation and lecturers should pay more attention 
  to the details at the planning stage.
