In education, team-based learning is learning by having learners work in teams to solve problems.[1][2]
Team-based learning can be a vehicle to enhance problem-based learning.[3]
Implementation of team learning
The four essential principles of team-based learning are:[4]
- Teams must be properly formed and managed. The students should be well mixed.
- Students must be made accountable for their individual and group work
- Team assignments must promote both learning and team development
- students must have frequent and timely feedback.
Regarding team assignments, there are 4 S's:[5]
- Significant Problem. Select a relevant, significant problem.
- Same Problem. Teams work on the same problem, case or question.
- Specific Choice. Teams are required to make a specific choice.
- Simultaneous Report. Teams report their choice simultaneously.
Effectiveness
Several instruments, the STROBE[6], the Classroom Engagement Survey (CES - 8 or 9 items), and the Team Performance Scale (TPS - 18 items).[7] have been validated for measuring effectiveness. The CES has two subscales, learner’s participation (LP - 4 or 5 items) and learner enjoyment of class(EC - 3 items), which may be reported as means or totals of items within the subscales.[8]
