Team-based Learning
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a pedagogical strategy that engages students through individual testing and group collaboration. Students answer questions individually, and then join teams to work through problems.
The stages of TBL
- Learners complete pre-class readings/assignments
- At the beginning of the class, learners complete an individual test to check what they have learned prior to the session
- Learners then join teams and debate the questions before completing a team scratch card, scratching of their agreed answer to hopefully reveal a star for the correct answer
- Teams then continue to discuss any incorrect answers until the correct answer is revealed
- Learners can 'appeal' an incorrect answer
- Educators are prepared to provide mini-lectures on areas that the learners struggle with
- Learners engage with activities that apply and extend their knowledge
