Hi Bill,
Thanks for this paper, the work looks well done from a brief read and does
not support any advantage of team vs individual learning on subsequent
scores in tests. However I feel that it ignores all of the other components
that TBL teaches students- how to work in a team, communication, confidence,
accountability etc. It was also a modified form of TBL used that didn't have
application exercises, and the quality of the multiple choice questions
can't be evaluated. Students who have done TBL may answer questions based on
rote learning the same as those that haven't, but may in fact be much better
at solving authentic problems.
Just some thoughts from Down Under,
Susan

They test something like TBL and the results aren't very positive. Maybe of
interest? I don't see many empirical papers like this, but maybe I'm not
looking in the right places.
