Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a unique, powerful, and proven form of
small-group learning that is being increasingly adopted in higher
education. Teachers who use TBL report high levels of engagement,
critical thinking, and retention among their students. TBL has been
used successfully in both small and large classes, in
computer-supported and online classes; and because it is group work
that works, it has been implemented in nearly every discipline and
in countries around the world. This book introduces the elements of
TBL and how to apply them in the social sciences and humanities. It
describes the four essential elements of TBL – readiness
assurance, design of application exercises, permanent teams, peer
evaluation – and pays particular attention to the specification
of learning outcomes, which can be a unique challenge in our
fields. The core of the book consists of examples of how TBL has
been incorporated into the cultures of disciplines as varied as
economics, education, literature, politics, psychology, and
theatre. The authors explain why they felt a need to change how
they taught and why they chose TBL. Furthermore, each chapter
provides examples of the assignments and exercises they use to help
their students achieve the specific learning outcomes of their
courses. At a time of increasing course sizes, and emphasis on
learning outcomes, TBL offers the means to meet such demands while
connecting students to their coursework, and stimulating their
intellectual engagement.
