In this study, the effects of two teaching methods on cross-cultural students were compared. The experimental treatment used was Jigsaw, a form of co-operative group learning, and the control method was whole-class lecture and discussion. The primary purposes of the study were: (a) to determine if there were significant differences in achievement, social relationships and co-operativeness between students taught using the Jigsaw method and students taught using the control method; and (b) to determine if Native students would respond differently than would non-Natives to the co-operative learning approach.
Results indicated there were no significant differences in achievement and choices of friends. There was a significant difference between the group means on the Social Behavior Scale change scores, in favour of the control group. The findings were interpreted as suggesting that the complex structure of the Jigsaw method worked against the development of goal-interdependence within teams, despite a group-reward having been used.
