Study Notes
Team Based Learning (TBL)
- TBL is an evidence-based learning and teaching strategy
- It's an inductive instructional strategy, enhancing knowledge through individual testing and group collaboration
- In a TBL classroom, the majority of class time is spent on student teams solving, reporting, and discussing solutions to significant problems.
Introduction to TBL
- The session explores what TBL is
- It examines the contrast between TBL and other learning approaches
- It covers TBL components
- It details the steps involved in a TBL session
- It highlights the advantages of TBL
Definition of TBL
- TBL is an evidence-based learning and teaching approach
- It's an inductive instructional strategy, helping students improve knowledge through individual testing and group problem-solving.
- The bulk of time in a TBL classroom is dedicated to student teams addressing significant problems.
Four Key Components of TBL
- Carefully formed and managed teams
- Frequent and timely feedback
- Problem-solving
- Student peer evaluation
Steps of TBL
- Preparation (Pre-class): Studying basic concepts
- Readiness Assurance Process: Working on simple problems (45-75 mins class time), Individual test, Group test, Written appeals, Tutor clarification ("Mini lecture")
- Application Exercises: Working on complex problems (1-4 hours class time), Application of oriented activities
- A typical TBL course involves 5-7 modules
- Each module follows a similar pattern, beginning with readiness assurance, followed by application activities, and concluding with closure/reinforcement.
- Module length may vary, fitting into one long session or across multiple sessions.
How TBL Works: Readiness Assurance Process
- RAP (Readiness Assurance Process): A five-stage process
- Stage 1: Initial Preparation: Gathering preparatory materials/pre-readings
- Stage 2: Individual Readiness Assurance Test (iRAT): Students complete a 10-20 multiple-choice question (MCQ) test independently.
- Stage 3: Team Readiness Assurance Test (tRAT): Teams take the same MCQ test. Teams must agree on a single answer for each, using a special scoring card. Simultaneous reporting of team decisions (coloured cards)
- Stage 4: Appeals: Instructors help teams explain their answers for incorrect questions. Students explain their challenges and propose solutions for those questions they were unable to solve. Appeals documents are a clear statement of the argument with evidence
- Stage 5: Mini-lecture: Instructors clarify remaining problematic concepts
In-Class Application Activities
- After RAP, the majority of class time involves students applying course concepts and solving problems with longer class sessions building on prior learning
- Student teams use a series of application exercises to solve problems.
- Teams work simultaneously, sharing answers
- Instructors manage discussion and consolidate learning.
Advantages of TBL
- Students report improved creative and oral communication skills.
- TBL enhances active learning and teamwork.
- It is adaptable to classes of varying sizes, including large lecture halls.
- Facilitators provide immediate feedback.
