Into the Sandbox
with Team-Based Learning
Team-Based Learning (TBL)
is an excellent educational strategy for medical education because
it transforms large classes into learning teams without expanding
faculty resources, and it requires learners to apply knowledge
rather than ‘cover content.’ Student academic achievement with TBL
appears to be equal or better than standard lecture format. However,
the greatest strength of the strategy may be that it helps students
develop the important professional competencies of communication,
interpersonal skills, giving and receiving feedback from peers, and
teamwork skills.
