Description
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a unique form of small-group learningdesigned in and for the college classroom. TBL's specialcombination of incentives and corrective feedback quicklytransforms groups into high-performance learning teams, with notime taken from the coverage of course content. In this issue, theauthors describe the practical elements of TBL, how it can look inthe classroom, and what they have learned as it has grown into aninterdisciplinary and international practice.
Chapters discuss:
* The Essential Elements of Team-Based Learning
* The Social Foundation of Team-Based Learning: StudentsAccountable to Students
* Knowledge is No Longer Enough: Enhancing Profession Educationwith Team-Based Learning
* Teaching Skills for Facilitating Team-Based Learning
* Peer Assessment and Evaluation in Team-Based Learning
* Technological Alternatives to Paper-Based Components ofTeam-Based Learning
* Team-Based Learning in Asynchronous Online Settings
Importantly, TBL is not about teaching but about learning. Severalarticles in this volume illustrate this emphasis by using TBLstudents' own words to reinforce key ideas.
This is the 116th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly reportseries New Directions for Teaching and Learning,which offers a comprehensive range of ideas and techniques forimproving college teaching based on the experience of seasonedinstructors and the latest findings of educational andpsychological researchers.
