The characteristic of cooperative learning is students are placed in cooperative groups and live together in one group for a few weeks or a few months. Previously, students were briefed or given training on how to work together well in terms of: - How to be a good listener - How to give a good description - How to ask a question correctly and so forth.

In addition, students work together with fellow students in an atmosphere of mutual help and have many opportunities to process information and improving their communication skills. Cooperative learning model type Jigsaw is a model of cooperative learning in which students learn in small groups of 4-6 people working together heterogeneously and have a positive interdependence as well as responsible for the completeness part of the subject matter to be learned
