Enhancing medical students comprehension through active learning: implementing the jigsaw method to improve engagement
The Jigsaw method proved effective in boosting student engagement, comprehension, and collaborative skills in complex Biochemistry topics. The study suggests that well-planned active teaching methods like the Jigsaw model can positively impact student learning and help achieve specific learning outcomes in medical education. Our study was limited to one institution; future multi-center, longitudinal and controlled studies are recommended to validate and expand these findings.
