The theory of novels is often used in text analysis and as a foundation for creating instruction. Studies using the Cooperative Learning approach are extensive, but research about teaching novels, especially application in classical novel instruction is lacking. Using 'Granny Liu in the Grand View Garden,' a chapter in the novel Dream of the Red Chamber and cooperative learning strategy as the experimental variable, researchers conducted a study with 108 high-school, grade 2 students in three classes; A, B, and C. Three different types of instruction were used in the experiment. Upon conclusion, assessments showed that using Jigsaw II in Class C resulted in the most useful method for learning. Using a discussion format for teaching in Class B yielded the second most useful learning style. Class A received the standard or ordinary instruction which demonstrated personal growth, but not academic growth comparable to Groups C and B. |
