Jigsaw: CTLE Resources. What is the Jigsaw Activity? A Jigsaw Activity is one that involves all students in the creation and sharing of knowledge independent of the instructor. The instructor is available to provide support and make sure all students are on task, but the responsibility for both teaching and learning belongs to the students. Jigsaw requires two rounds of student grouping. In the initial grouping, students are given some resources (e.g., text, formula, etc.) and charged with getting to know certain information on a particular topic, solving a particular problem or responding to a set of question. Each group has unique information with which to work.

Problem-Based Learning: CTLE Resources. What is Problem-Based Learning (PBL)? Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is another approach to learner-centered instruction. The instructor (or tutor in PBL-speak) is a facilitator for the learning process, but the entire execution of the PBL experience is student-led. PBL engages students because the real-world problems are determined by student interest and explored in ways the students suggest. The situations they are dealing with are complicated and target student's analytical, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.They are deliberately ambiguous so students have to work hard to arrive at solutions and often they are so multifaceted, that arriving at a solution can present yet another problem to be addressed.

The experiential nature of PBL is underscored by the fact that the students have to think and act like real professionals in their respective fields as they work to solve realistic problems.
