I am currently running a 72h unit on HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) at Monash University in Australia. I have always taught this unit according to PBL principles but I am the only facilitator in the class of 25, so it is an adapted version of PBL. This year I discovered TBL and I think it fits brilliantly with this one facilitator kind of PBL. PBL has the drawback to sometimes leave the student with a bit of uncertainty about what they know versus what they should know. I have implemented TBL as a prePBL step 7 with an iRAT/tRAT/appeal straight after SDL and it works really well, the students start their step 7 with a lot more confidence and the whole team is much more on the same wavelength than when I directly did step 7. I also ask students to write down the product of their SDL in the form of a research review and each week their assess their peers work in their team to gauge everyone engagement and mark their contribution to the team work.

Here’s an interesting concept. I have been asked to run a staff development for faculty on how to use TBL. But I’ve been asked to do it jointly with colleagues who having been using PBL also. The attempt is I think to highlight both types of teaching methodologies to other faculty who are still using not much else but didactic teaching.
Given my own invaluable experiences on learning about TBL by doing it (including sessions by Paul Koles et al)my gut instinct is that this is asking too much of everyone in a session and the focus should be on one of the other but not both but I just wondered about the groups experiences or thoughts on this?
