Aronson and His Colleagues Developed the Technique Known as the "Jigsaw

Aronson and his colleagues developed the technique known as the "jigsaw" classroom primarily to:

A) provide data for a theoretical analysis comparing the effects of cooperation versus competition.
B) take advantage of the altruistic motivations of students, which are stifled by a competitive classroom environment.
C) replicate the findings of the famous "Robber's Cave" experiment in another "naturalistic" setting- the classroom.
D) develop a cooperative structure for integrated classrooms that could be readily implemented and evaluated-that is, to develop an "action research" program.
