摘要:With the increased emphasis on teams and collaboration in the workplace, many teachers are requiring students to work collaboratively in their courses. Teachers struggle with determining how best to provide students with effective learning experiences in a collaborative environment. Traditional methods of team assignments and group work in the classroom have, at best, produced mixed results with varying levels of success and questionable levels of satisfaction among students and teachers. This paper describes a specific approach to classroom collaboration called team-based learning and demonstrates how the authors have implemented this approach to learning in a variety of undergraduate courses they teach. Assessment data collected over the past year are also reported to provide quantifiable measures of the effects of the team-based approach on student learning, along with the authors’ experiences in effectively implementing this method of collaboration in the postsecondary classroom environment.
