A main template made with Mathcad® of a multistage counter-current liquid-liquid extraction was supplied to both the jigsaw and non-jigsaw groups.

The students were divided into two groups: one half of the class followed a non-cooperative learning methodology (the control) while the other half were spread among the jigsaw cooperative groups following the methodology known as “Jigsaw Experts Groups”. This study was performed on two different groups at the University of Almería (Spain) over three academic years. This work shows the improvement in comprehending counter-current liquid-liquid extraction by applying jigsaw-type cooperative learning and the engineering math software Mathcad® in a chemical engineering course, part of the Chemistry degree.
