b. the effectiveness of cooperation in reducing prejudice.

Explanation:

The jigsaw classroom is known or can be described as a technique which gives space or allows cooperative learning that reduces conflict among people, most especially the school children.

Some of the steps that can be adopted when making use of jigsaw in the classroom are

* Divide students into 5 - or 6-person jigsaw groups,

* Divide the day's lesson into 5-6 segments,

* Give students time to read over their segment at least twice and become familiar with it,

* Bring the students back into their jigsaw groups,

* Float from group to group, observing the process, among others.
