Study Notes

Team Based Learning (TBL)

TBL is an evidence-based learning and teaching strategy.
It's an inductive instructional strategy that enhances knowledge through individual testing and group collaboration.
The bulk of class time is dedicated to student teams addressing relevant, significant problems, reporting on solutions, and discussing them.
TBL is structured around units called "modules," taught in a three-step cycle.

Introduction to TBL

The session explores what TBL is.
It contrasts TBL with other learning approaches.
It details the components of TBL.
It outlines the steps involved in a TBL session.
It highlights the advantages of TBL.

Definition of TBL

TBL is an evidence-based learning and teaching strategy.
It uses an inductive instructional approach that strengthens student understanding through individual assessment and collaborative work.
TBL classes prioritize student team problem-solving, reporting, and discussion.

Components of TBL

Carefully formed and managed teams
Frequent and timely feedback
Problem-solving
Student peer evaluation

Steps of TBL

Preparation before class (studying concepts)
Readiness Assurance Process (RAP; 45-75 minutes):
- Pre-class work on problems
- Individual Readiness Test (iRAT)
- Team Readiness Test (tRAT, scratch & win)
- Written appeals
- Tutor clarification/Mini-lecture
Application exercises (1-4 hours), applying concepts to complex problems
Application-focused activities
Typical TBL course has 5-7 modules.
Each module has a similar repeating cycle within the course.
Module length varies, and could run within a single long session or occur over multiple sessions.
Each module concludes with closure and reinforcement.

How TBL Works: Readiness Assurance Process (RAP)

RAP is a 5-stage process.
The process progresses from preliminary preparation to complete readiness for problem-solving.
Stages include:
- Initial preparation (pre-readings, materials).
- Individual Readiness Assurance Test (iRAT)
- Team Readiness Assurance Test (tRAT)
- Appeals process
- Mini-lecture (to address remaining problems)
Pre-class prep includes review of assigned material (textbook chapters, articles, videos).
Preparatory materials should highlight core concepts needed to engage in problem-solving without over-burdening learners.

How TBL Works: iRAT

Completing a 10-20 multiple-choice question test individually to assess understanding of foundational concepts.
Prepared by instructors, questions assess basic understanding.
Follows Bloom's taxonomy: remembering, understanding, and simple applying.

How TBL Works: tRAT

Teams complete the identical test as iRAT.
Teams collectively answer each question, achieving consensus.
This collaborative activity promotes deeper learning.
Teams use a specific scoring system (scratch and win style testing).

How TBL Works: Appeals

Instructor intervention to encourage resolution of incorrect answers.
Students articulate reasoning for answers, referencing learning material.
Appeals form requires a clear argument supported by evidence.

How TBL Works: Mini-Lecture

Instructor-led session to clarify lingering concepts from students' appeals, primarily addressing the subjects about which students had particular difficulties.

In-Class Application Activities

Applying course concepts and resolving problems using extended class sessions.
This involves practicing concepts through the assignment of problems, exercises, and tasks, while simultaneously encouraging collaborative teamwork.
Teams tackle significant problems through a range of exercises.
Teams engage in simultaneous problem-solving, sharing answers.
Instructors facilitate discussions, summary, and focus.

Advantages of TBL

Students report improved creative thinking and oral communication skills.
The structure promotes active learning and teamwork.
TBL effectively adapts to varying class sizes, ideal for large classes, too.
Immediate feedback from facilitators is essential to effective learning in TBL classrooms.
