Abstract
In the current era of education, quality of the content delivery is considered as important as the course content, to attain the objectives of the course. Quality content delivery method influences the student and emphasis on active learning strategies. This paper describes collaboration of learning practices with specialized topics in stream line approach mindmapping using jigsaw method. The jigsaw method is an effective way to increase student engagement through group work that facilitates peer-to-peer learning. Teams of students are assigned to investigate different aspects of the topics or issue. Assign the different problems/topics to each team. Once each team members thoroughly understands his/her team's aspect of the problem in content Based Learning using Mind- Mapping, then after, new groups are formed, with at least one representative from each original team. Each individual then explains his/her team's aspect of the problem to the new group. In this way, every student learns every aspect of the problem/topic. Each group expected to explain their aspects to other team members in Expert Team, then uses the combined information to evaluate a summary issue. In our study we have divided the five members as a team and batches and assigned the different problems of different topics to all the teams. Analyze the student's performance batch wise, formative assessment and summative assessment has performed. This approach can index that in one session all students are learned in cooperative learning with Mind-Mapping and each student in each group becomes an 'expert' on a smaller part of problems /topics.
