ABSTRACT

[Purpose] This study aimed to explore the impact of jigsaw model-based instruction on the teaching attitudes and physical self-efficacy of pre-service special education teachers. [Methods] To achieve this objective, participants included 20 pre-service special education teachers enrolled in the ‘Elementary Physical Education’ course during the first semester of 2024 at U University’s Department of Special Education. Participants completed physical education attitude and physical self-efficacy assessments before and after the jigsaw model-based class. The collected data were analyzed using paired-sample t-tests, and qualitative data from self-reflection sheets were reviewed to support the findings. [Results] The results showed that, first, jigsaw model-based instruction positively influenced pre-service special education teachers’ attitudes toward physical education in social, psychological, and personal dimensions. Second, the instruction positively impacted pre-service special education teachers’ perceived physical ability. [Conclusion] These findings indicate that jigsaw model-based classes effectively enhance both teaching attitudes and physical self-efficacy for pre-service special education teachers. They suggest the need for active integration of jigsaw model-based instruction in teacher training programs.
