We redesigned a 4th year course for delivery using TBL in our Pharmacy programme in 2012/13. Our students had, up until then, experienced a combination of mostly lectures and practical classes. Our students took to it very well, we're engaged throughout and provided us with some very favourable feedback. The exams marks also significantly increased on the previous year.
I used the Team-based Learning Student Assessment Instrument designed by Heidi Mennenga, to make an assessment of how they made the comparison between TBL and traditional methods. The results showed a strong preference for TBL over traditional lectures. See links below for further details on Heidi's work:

The vast majority of students preferred learning using TBL. A couple of quotes from the end of course questionnaire are below:
"It has been so good and rewarding to the point that I'm recommending that the rest of our programme is delivered this way. It almost makes me want to be a 1st year again" [NB. our new programme is delivered predominantly by TBL from year 1]
"Thoroughly enjoyed this way of learning and I feel a bit cheated that it's only just been introduced in our 4th year"
Good luck with it, you'll be very pleased with the results so long as you keep to Larry's key principles.
Best wishes
Simon

> Judy: our experience is that med students may be oriented to the rationale and process of TBL by actually experiencing a TBL module. The content of that module may be TBL itself or a topic appropriate for your learning culture. After experiencing the whole process (short advance assignment, IRAT, tRAT, appeals, and applications) the "readiness" for working as a team is intuitively grasped and highly motivated by a desire to learn well and get good grades. The beauty of the TBL strategy is that it rewards collaborative and cooperative learning, so the very behaviors that fuel that process are developed without "teaching" those behaviors. To me, the motivation for investigating "readiness to work on a team" would be for research purposes mainly. best, Paul

In the back of my mind I guess I’m looking for an easy-to-use tool something along the lines of the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) Questionnaire. So far in my search I haven’t found anything that suits, but then perhaps my search may have been too narrow. I’m hoping that someone from this list will be able to help. Thanks, Judy Buchanan
