Making the teaching and learning strategies more student-friendly has helped to retain student’s attention and insist in them the interest to learn and perform better. Jigsaw Technique is one of the cooperative learning technique in which students equally participates, prepares and leads a group thus learning for themselves as well as preparing for their group. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of jigsaw learning technique on nursing students in learning a concept of Preeclampsia, as it is found beneficial in teaching. The technique also helps to revolve the learning material for peers in learning process and thereby help to build interpersonal and interactive skills among students. 50 B.Sc nursing students were selected and their pre-knowledge level on the concepts of preeclapmpsia was assessed. The same group was taught the Jigsaw Technique of learning to study the concept and the students were divided into 5 groups. A day was fixed to organize the Jigsaw classroom. After one week, their post knowledge was assessed. There was a significant difference in the performance of the students on the self-administered questionnaire before and after the intervention. The posttest score was increased (21.62) than the pretest knowledge mean score of 10.48. The calculated paired t’ test at 0.05 level of significance was 3.76 which is greater than the table value of 1.684. Thus, the Jigsaw Learning method proved to be an effective educational learning tool for nursing students.
