At the last TBLC Conference in Fort Worth, Michele Clark and I ran a workshop to demonstrate an orientation session that has been devised to get student "buy-in" to pre-learning teaching methods (TBL, Flipped).
The sequence of activities covers team formation, exposure of student learning motivations and expectations, exploration of aspects of learning, and examination of learning success factors for the individual, team and educator.
These activities help students to understand their individual and team obligations using their own words (their learning contracts), and prepare them for active engagement in the teaching sessions that follow. In addition, this orientation gives the educator valuable information for understanding the motivations, expectations and perceptions of student learners. This approach works.

Hi All,
For students who grew up in lecture-dominant culture, I wonder how they behave in a TBL session with a skilled teacher/facilitator.
Thank you,
Chaoyan

Judy,
I'm 100% agreement with Paul's comments. If the teacher is ready (i.e., understands and applies TBL "standard practice" and has well designed application assignments), students are always ready. I also agree that a well-designed before and after measure might be useful from a research standpoint.

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

Hello,
I will be introducing team-based learning to a group of year one medical students this fall and would like to get a sense of their readiness to work on a team. 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
