Developing Student Leadership Through the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning Model in Fiqh

Instilling leadership characteristics during the learning process is essential for fostering students’ sense of responsibility and social awareness. This study investigates the improvement of students’ leadership skills through the implementation of the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model in the Fiqh subject. Employing a qualitative approach, this study used field research as the primary design, supported by several data collection techniques, including observation, interviews, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through the processes of reduction, display, and conclusion-drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model fosters improvements in students’ self-confidence, independence, and social awareness. Nevertheless, the findings also highlight the need for careful planning, as improper implementation may lead to the dominance of certain students or the marginalization of others. Overall, the study suggests that systematic preparation and appropriate implementation of the Jigsaw model can create a more conducive learning environment and effectively support the attainment of learning objectives.
