Abstract
This research aims to uncover the extent to which computerized Jigsaw contributes to improving students' attitudes toward Islamic values, such as cooperation, assuming responsibility, social skills, and so forth. In order to answer the main research question, the study examined a purposeful sample of seventh grade students in the Central District. The sample consists of 25 students, with an average socioeconomic level, including 15 female students and 10 male students. The researcher used the procedural research approach. The researcher obtained the students' attitudes towards "values questionnaire", translated it from Hebrew, and distributed it to the study sample at the beginning of the third semester. This was done in order to benchmark the values level of the sample before teaching them using the computerized Jigsaw strategy. The questionnaire was distributed again after the completion of the teaching using this strategy to see its impact on students' values. The study revealed differences in students' attitudes toward Islamic values in the prepost test. That is, the differences in students' attitudes toward Islamic values between pretest and posttest are attributed to the large, important, and actual impact of using the computerized Jigsaw strategy. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher recommends the adoption of the computerized Jigsaw strategy in teaching various academic subjects at different educational levels. The researcher also recommends designing training courses for teachers on how to use this strategy in education because of its advantages in improving the academic level of students and the communication between them.
