Adoption of the Experiment Type Jigsaw Method About the House Environment in the Elementary School Class

Abstract

The elementary school class contents consist of four experiments about the house environment. The results are as follows : 1) The level of children’s understanding remained unchanged. 2) Children deepened their understanding about the principle by explaining it. 3) Some child grasped the meaning of the explanation, and learned the meta recognition.
