Some subscribers to TIPS may be interested in a recent post
"Team-Based Learning" [Hake (2009)].
The abstract reads (slightly edited):
*****************************************
ABSTRACT: In a previous post "Re: Active Learning in Medicine" I
discussed the implementation of Team-Based Learning (TBL) at the
Singapore branch of the Duke Medical School. In a later post I posed
five questions for subscribers to the TeamLearning list, and Bill
Goffe posed another question "How does TBL compare with physicists'
use of conceptests?" Goffe's answer indicated both similarities and
differences. Here I reference the online responses of TeamLearning
subscribers to two of my questions: "What evidence supports the
assertion that the first class undergoing TBL did extraordinarily
well"; and "What's the difference between TBL and PBL?" As for
another question: "HAS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TBL AND PBL IN PROMOTING
HIGHER-ORDER STUDENT LEARNING BEEN EVALUATED BY PRE/POST TESTING?" as
far as I know, the answer is "No" for TBL and "Yes" for PBL
(evidently only one evaluation due to Barbara Williams of the
University of Delaware.) I suggest that just as physics education
research (PER) may have something to learn from TBL and medical
education, so TBL and medical education may have something to learn
from PER.
