The study aims to compare the effectiveness of jigsaw-ii method of teaching and the prevailing activity method of teaching in accomplishing different instructional objectives of social sciences in cognitive domain. The study employed a pre-test post-test control group design wherein one intact class each of eighth grade students was taken as control group (n = 3) and experimental group (n = 39). Pre-intervention and post-intervention accomplishment of instructional objectives in six different levels (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation) of cognitive domain was assessed with the help of an achievement in social sciences developed by the researchers. Three units from the prescribed textbook were taught in 27 classes by employing activity method of teaching for the control group and by using jigsaw-ii method with the help of lesson transcripts developed by the investigators. Independent sample t-test and paired sample t-test were employed for inferential analysis of data. The results showed that both activity method and jigsaw-ii method are effective methods for accomplishing instructional objectives of different levels in the cognitive domain. While no significant difference was observed between the activity method of teaching and jigsaw-ii method of teaching with respect to the accomplishment of knowledge level and application level instructional objectives, jigsaw-ii method was found to be more effective in achieving comprehension level, analysis level, synthesis level, and evaluation level instructional objectives of teaching social sciences.
