I agree with Elisabeth that creating MCQs is mainly an individual/pair effort. There could certainly be a follow up where teams put forward their best example and all teams select the best as an application exercise with the 4Ss.
Outside of TBL, I also asked students to submit questions as part of a practical exam with two incentives. 1) They got a few points if they mainly followed NBME style, linked the question to a course learning objective, and provided an explanation. 2) I told the class that a couple examples would appear on exams. Overall they did an excellent job.
With my blessing, they also shared the questions they wrote with one another... my students went through over 100 practice questions in preparation for their exam. Excellent way to learn!

I am new to TBL so I don’t have any
experience to build on but I have used this assignment as an individual task in
my lectures with very good results. Students are pretty good at creating MCQ (individually),
particularly when they know that some of them might show up on the actual exam.
You really don’t need a team for this.

 

I would think that it is still OK for dyads/pairs
but not for a team of 5-9 people because it is too easy to get disengaged.

Subject: phase 3 teams creating
MCQ



 







Has anyone used phase
3 as a time for teams to create MCQ? This is a higher order thinking skill and
a form of application of the content, but is it something that would be
successful produced as a 'team assignment'? Would individuals work to
accomplish the task?
