The implementation of the jigsaw type learning method is carried out by giving a task to be discussed with the study group and then presented in front of the class; 3.) In overcoming problems that arise during the application of the jigsaw learning method, the teacher provides motivation to each of his students to participate actively in learning; 4.)
