Jigsaw-metoden som pedagogisk verktøy for tverrfaglig læring i høyere utdanning

Project summary

Interdisciplinary collaboration is a key objective in professional education but is often challenged by the separation kept between subjects in academic teaching and research. This article explores how the Jigsaw method can be used to promote interdisciplinary learning in higher education. The analysis shows that the method enhanced student ownership and engagement through responsibility by teaching each other in groups. However, learning from other student’s contributions and interdisciplinary integration was limited. Didactic factors such as time, structure, and teacher involvement were crucial in realizing the method’s potential. The article highlights the need for clearer design for learning, for active teacher involvement and integrated activities in order to strengthen interdisciplinary learning.
