The subjects of the research were 18 tenth-grade students at SMAN 7 Bandar Lampung. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected through video recording and interviews. Coding was used in analyzing the data. The result showed that majority of students had positive perceptions of the jigsaw technique use in terms of levels of difficulty, degree of stress, confidence, interest, and motivation. This suggests that jigsaw technique facilitates the students in receiving the material more effectively and efficiently because enjoyable teaching and learning activities in jigsaw give a positive learning atmosphere.
