This study therefore investigates such effect by comparing the academic achievement and self-efficacy of concrete and formal reasoners exposed to the strategy and those exposed to the traditional method. Two groups of students were randomly selected for the study. One group was exposed to the Jigsaw model of cooperative learning (experimental group) while the other group was exposed to the traditional method (Control group). Variables investigated were effect of the strategy on academic achievement and self-efficacy of formal and concrete reasoners. T-test statistic was used to analyse the data at P≤0.05 level of significance. Result obtained revealed that: The use of cooperative learning strategy has significant effect on the academic achievement of formal 'reasoners' more than that of the concrete 'reasoners'. The difference is statistically significant. Difference in the effect of cooperative learning strategy between the self-efficacy of students at concrete operational stage and those at formal operational stage who were exposed to cooperative learning strategy was not statistically significant. This paper therefore recommends that chemistry teachers in colleges of education in Nigeria need to have a clear understanding of the reasoning pattern of their students to enable them tailor their teaching to meet the students' learning need.
