Tables 4.11 and 4.12 showed that the students’ participation improved
from the preliminary observation to the implementation of the jigsaw technique. The explanation of
each criterion of students’ participation was presented below:
1. Reading the Text Loudly
In the preliminary observation, the students had low participation in reading the text loudly in the classroom. From 30 students, there were only 12
students who did it. The number of the students who participated in reading the text loudly increased each cycle. In the last cycle, all students 100 had given
their contribution to read the text loudly. It meant that the class made improvement 60 from the preliminary observation to the last cycle.

2. Asking Question related to the Text to Friends
In the preliminary observation, the students had very low participation in asking questions related to the material to their friends. There were only seven
students 23.3 who asked their friends about the material. While in the third cycle, the students made an improvement from 23.3 to 73.3. It was about 22
students who asked their friends about the material through the implementation of the jigsaw technique.
3. Sharing the Content of the Text
In the preliminary observation, the students had low participation in sharing the content of the text to their friends. There were only 10 students
33.3 who did it. After the researcher had implemented the technique, the students were accustomed to sharing the content of their text to friends. In the
third cycle, the participation became 27 students 90. It increased about 56.7. 4. Retelling the Conte nt of the Text to Friends
The researcher found a new criterion. It was the students retold the content of the text to friends in the implementation of the jigsaw technique. In the first
cycle, 29 students 96.7 contributed their participation to retelling the text to their friends but it decreased into 25 students 83.3 in the second cycle. It
increased again to 29 students 96.7 in the last cycle. In this section, the students had unstable improvement. In the first cycle, they retold by reading the
text directly. On the other hand, in the second and third cycles, they really retold the text with their own words.
