To meet the needs of educational innovation in the direction of developing students' abilities and qualities, it is extremely necessary to apply modern teaching methods and techniques to teaching history. The puzzle piece technique refers to a technique that contributes to the development of students' general abilities through group activities. This study was conducted to propose some approaches to improve the effectiveness of using the puzzle piece technique in teaching 8th-grade world history in schools. In this work, we used educational scientific research methods, and collection methods to study the theoretical basis and propose some measures to improve the efficiency of using the puzzle piece technique. The research results clearly showed the difference when using the puzzle piece technique in teaching history in school. The proposed measures will improve the effectiveness of history lessons, creating interest in learning and developing necessary skills for learners when applied in practice. The results of the study will be useful references for teachers and students when teaching history in high schools.
