Hello! My
name is Alicia Swanson. I am a graduate student at
I have reviewed
the articles on the TBL website and read the TBL book. It is all wonderfully
written information!! In addition, I have had a wonderful time exploring this
teaching strategy. I was wondering would you mind me asking you questions via
email about your experience with team-based learning?
First of all,
have you heard of any nursing instructors or schools that have implemented
TBL into their curriculum? If so, could you describe the course, how it
was implemented, and your success with the strategy? I have seen a lot of
medical education programs with TBL but nothing much on nursing. In my
literature review, I did not find may references
related to team-based learning. Do you have any other references that are of
assistance to you?
Also, I have
had a lot of student resistance in implementing this new teaching strategy. Do
you have any suggestions for a smoother transition? I have even had students
trying to sabotage the class period by not preparing in hopes that I
may lecture the entire period. Also, the evaluations reflect that they
want lecture and nothing else. How long does it typically take for
students to "adjust" to this new way of learning? I have also found
that they are complaining about how I am not "teaching them" or that
it is like an "independent study." Have you experienced any of these
reactions from students?
Any feedback or
additional references and ideas would be much appreciated. I thank you so much
for your time. Happy Holidays!!
Sincerely,
Alicia Swanson
