The jigsaw method falls under the category of collaborative learning, which is used in a variety of settings. It allows students to interact with peers and teaches them responsibility, independence and how to help others. Those virtues are also essential in later years, which is why it is advisable to learn them as children. As a result, the jigsaw method has been developed to allow the students to mix and work together, in addition to helping them in overcoming learning disabilities. It is therefore the jiggle puzzle method, where the students are divided into groups in order to go over the learning material and later divided again, only this time different groups are formed, where there is no student from the previous group. Thus, they are forced to present the learning material to the others. The use of this method plays a great role in catechesis as well, so that the students feel important and come to certain conclusions, as well as walk by faith, which is the goal of catechesis. However, the method must be adapted to a particular age group as well as to the learning material in order to avoid various inconveniences that can occur (not understanding the learning material, unknown words). According to the study, it can be concluded that the method is not very widespread, as some consider that it requires much preparation, is not suitable for all areas and is not well known. Nevertheless, it seems to be important for the acquisition of some virtues, which is why it seems to be important for the change of monotonous educational work.
