Verification of Learning Effects by Team-based Learning

Abstract

It has been recommended that active learning methods, such as team-based learning (TBL) and problem-based learning (PBL), be introduced into university classes by the Central Council for Education. As such, for the past 3 years, we have implemented TBL in a medical therapeutics course for 4-year students. Based upon our experience, TBL is characterized as follows: TBL needs fewer teachers than PBL to conduct a TBL module. TBL enables both students and teachers to recognize and confirm the learning results from preparation and reviewing. TBL grows students' responsibility for themselves and their teams, and likely facilitates learning activities through peer assessment.

Development of the Training Program on Child Abuse Prevention for Citizens (TCAP-C) and Its Effects and Acceptability: Community-Based Participatory Research

“…Regarding knowledge, the score continuously improved until three months after TCAP-C. Previous studies [33,34] suggest that team-based and interactive learning programs may be more efficient in acquiring and applying knowledge to practice. Those studies indicate that an interactive learning program of TCAP-C could help the participants to acquire and retain their knowledge more effectively.…”
