Methods of Effective Team-Based Learning Administration and Expected Effects on Medical Education

Abstract

TBL is an effective teaching and learning method and has positive impacts on student academic achievement. A study on student academic achievement and perception of TBL is expected to provide medical educators with suggestions on planning teaching strategies for effective TBL administration.

Factors influencing learner satisfaction with team‐based learning among nursing students

“…Both the IRAT and GRAT consisted of 12 multiple-choice questions derived from the course's educational objectives. The peer evaluation used a peer-evaluation form to assess students' contributions to their groups (Cho et al, 2010). Peer evaluation required students to allocate a fixed number of points to their team members, with the stipulation that not all team members could receive 10 points.…”

“…The 41-item TBL Course Operation and Evaluation Tool for Korean medical students (Cho et al, 2010) was used, with the exclusion of one item. We received permission for the tool's use and modification from the original authors.…”

“…It required participants to rate their level of agreement with each statement: (i) TBL was useful in understanding the subject; (ii) TBL was interesting compared with lecture formats; (iii) I was satisfied with the problem-solving process in TBL; (iv) Through team activities, TBL helped me gain a deeper understanding of the subject; (v) TBL helped me acquire knowledge; (vi) TBL helped me obtain clinical problem-solving methods; and (vii) I learned the clinical application of the theory (Cho et al, 2010). The items were measured on a seven point Likert-type scale, ranging from one (strongly disagree) to seven (strongly agree), with higher scores indicating responses that are more positive.…”

“…Satisfaction is exclusively based on subjective opinion, yet it is still an important measure of the quality of teaching, considering that students are the principal stakeholders in nurse education. While most studies have demonstrated favorable attitudes toward aspects of TBL (Searle et al, 2003;Chung et al, 2009;Vasan et al, 2009;Cho et al, 2010), there has been relatively little research on TBL in nurse education. Furthermore, the research that has been conducted in nurse education has demonstrated inconsistent findings.…”

Effects of Team-Based Learning on Communication Competence for Undergraduate Nursing Students

“…TBL has been diversely applied abroad in the field of healthcare education, and its effectiveness has been verified [10][11][12]. The leading effects are seen in the communication ability of learners, interpretation ability, team-work technique, ability to apply acquired knowledge, learning satisfaction, and other benefits.…”
