Team-based learning (TBL) is a powerful teaching and learning framework where students come to class prepared and spend most of class time engaged in team activities that help them learn how to solve real-world problems and apply important course concepts. This module is focused on Introducing Team-Based Learning (TBL)
Read the Jim Sibley and Sophie Spiridonoff handout “Introduction to Team-Based Learning (pdf)”
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an increasingly-popular form of small-group learning. The four components of TBL are permanent teams, readiness assurance, application activities, and peer evaluation.
TBL is possible even in large theater-style classrooms with fixed seats. TBL instructors report high levels of student attendance, preparation, participation and critical thinking. TBL students report being more motivated and enjoying class more, even when the subject is not in their major.
