Abstract :
In this study, three groups of students that registered for Electrical Engineering Degree courses are exposed to jigsaw COOP learning approach. The effectiveness of jigsaw COOP technique is further confirmed based on Kappa score and Analysis of Variance conducted. It was found that the jigsaw COOP technique contributed to significant or positive achievement in students´ performance based on results attained in all cases. In addition, cooperative learning method is suitable to be practised in engineering education.
