What is TBL?
Team Based Learning
• Team Based Learning was developed in the 1970’s by
Dr. Michaelsen, a Professor of Management at the
University of Oklahoma
• His goal: to change the passive learning in his lectures
into active learning by testing and assigning students
to teams.
Team Based Learning
What is TBL?
It’s an active learning method that is learner centered
but instructor led (Koles et al. 2010).
Why use TBL?
It fosters individual and group accountability as groups of five to seven
students work together to solve clinical problems (Hrynchak & Batty, 2012)
. to do TBL?
In what setting to use TBL?
This method is used for large classes that are divided into smaller groups
(referred to as teams) that have maximal diversity within the teams but
relative evenness between the teams.

Application of Course Concepts
Why use TL?
The Student TBL Advantages
Motivated to Attend
Applies Knowledge
-Offered alternative to
large lecture classes
-Becomes part of a team
-Achieves higher-level cognitive skills
-Learns basic concepts and
experiences their application in
assignments
Participates Actively
in Education
Develops Interpersonal skills
-Acquires life-long skills
-Engages students who
prefer to work alone
-Assists “at risk” students
-Student learn about themselves in
collaborating with others on tasks
-Students learn to work as a team to
accomplish difficult intellectual tasks
The Student TBL Advantages
• TBL is effectively grounded in constructivist
learning theory.
Students apply their knowledge to solving
clinically relevant problems by working actively
in effective teams.
TBL contributes to develop skills that healthcare
professionals need:
critical thinking and teamwork skills.

Why use TBL?
How to do TBL?
• Team Based Learning is a small learning group
method where individual work is done outside the
class and team work is completed in class.
• The four principles of TBL are (1) properly formed
and managed groups, (2) student accountability,
(3)team assignments that promote learning, group
interaction and team development, and (4) frequent
and immediate feedback to students.
• The rationale for using TBL is that it is a good
interactive alternative to passive lectures, requires no
extra facilities or faculty, develops interpersonal skills
and assists “at risk” students.
• Implementation of TBL involves planning before the
class, forming groups in the 1st class and reminding
the students of the learning objectives, content
application and team work near the end of the class.
Students’ Evaluation of the
Teaching/Learning Method
• A teaching survey, attitude
questionnaire and focus group
were held to evaluate the method.
• Data analysis was quantitative and
qualitative.
28
Results
Students rated the Group Facilitator very high:
4.80; 4.64; 4.60; 4.13
(2nd cohort; five-rank-scale).
29
Results and Conclusion
TBL was well received, particularly in the first
cohort of students.
Students rated the method as deepening their
understanding of written material
(1st cohort: 4; 2nd cohort: 3.7; five-rank-scale).
However they failed to see its value in contributing
to their skills as doctors
(1st cohort: 3.4; 2nd cohort: 2.3; five-rank-scale).
30
Results and Conclusion
Focus groups provided insights into how
the approach can be improved.
TBL has potential as a teaching method to
encourage students to read in depth, test
their knowledge and work in teams.
