Appropriate sampling method was preferred in the study. This research was <br />designed according to quasi-experimental design, which is one of the quantitative research methods. The research data was <br />collected by applying 5 real life problems (non-routine problems) within the experimental and control groups as pre-test and <br />post-test. Mann Whitney U Test was used to analyze the obtained data. <br />Findings: As a result of this research, the success of solving real life problems of the experimental group in which the jigsaw II <br />technique was applied in the 4th graders in science lesson; was found higher than that of the control group undergoing the <br />education and training process prepared compatible with the curriculum prepared by the Ministry of National Education. <br />Recommendations: In line with these results, primary school teachers can be provided with in service training on creating and <br />solving real life problems. <br /> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Kastamonu University}
