Datasets to identify how jigsaw classrooms improve peer facilitated tutorials in materials science

In this study, the jigsaw method is abstracted from the <em>collaborate</em> section of the new pedagogy- CACPLA (Communicate, Active, Collaborate, Problem-based Solving, Learning and Assessment), and assisted with tutorials and peer facilitated studies on elasticity. The broad subject was sub-divided into subsections such as: stress and strain in engineering materials, elasticity hysteresis, Hooke's law, stress tensors, bulk modulus, modulus of elasticity, and young modulus. Based on these subtopics, each of the 7 sub-groups were entrusted with creating scenarios for solving actual problems. The case-studies on how the collated jigsaw pieces were useful to support the students and create in-depth knowledge on the subject matter are embeded in the uploaded datasets.
