This is of be dove through verification of the hypothesis that there is no significant difference at the 0.05 level between the motivation of experiment of group subjects who study according to (Jigsaw) cooperative learning and that of the control group subjects who study traditionally.

The study is limited to female students al the first year-Department of kindergarten college of Education for women university of Baghdad during the academic year 2007-2008.

An experiment of design of partial control and post-test for two groups is used.

To measure students motivation, a scale is prepared according to scientific procedures.

Validity and reliability are ensured.

The scale consists of 40 items.

Pearson correlation coefficient and test for two independent sampler are used as statistical procedures.

The results of the study show that motivation of the experiment group students outweighs that of the control group ones to learn biology.

Accordingly the null hypothesis is rejected.
