I have just read "Team-Based Learning: A Transformative Use of Small Groups in College Teaching". . . . .[ Michaelsen et al. (2004)]. . . ., and I am intrigued. Unfortunately, I have been teaching long enough to realize that fads come and go, so I have some questions for you. . . . .
1. Does anyone use this teaching chemistry at any level (high school or college)? I would really like to see some examples of assignments for the Readiness Assurance Process.
2. Does anyone use this in high school?
3. Do you use this exclusively (100% of the time) or do you incorporate
aspects of it into your lessons?
4. Do you think this is a fad and that eventually we will decide it doesn't deliver as expected?
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
