Hello all,
I'm new to team based learning, having implemented it in my classes just this semester. I've a question that those with more experience might be able to help with. I've come up with team assignments that fit Michaelsen's criteria... same problem, make a specific choice, sharing responses at the same time, etc. and they seem to 'work' when the teams are working towards making their choices. For example, I gave the teams a set of handouts about different ways to measure physical activity and told them I was doing a research study and needed them to decide which was the best way. The students seemed interested and involved. However, things seem to fall a bit flat after they report their answers. That is, there seems to be minimal interest in what the other teams have decided or in talking about the differences in the answers and the rationales behind those answers. They seem to be thinking... we're done... time to go. I guess I'm not sure how to facilitate that last bit of the process. Any suggestions? Karla
