Hello I use TBL in geophysics and related courses, and am an avid fan for a variety of reasons. However I would like to find a few key references which show objective evidence that teams (or TBL) result in better student performance than more traditional teaching strategies. I do know of the bibliography at http://teambasedlearning.apsc.ubc.ca/?page_id=21 and at least two of those are excellent, and I do have two of the Michaelsen books. But I was hoping someone could help me find papers with recent, hard experimental or empirical evidence of learning gains that are better than other teaching strategies, rather than articles which focus on anecdote, or implementation case histories. Many thanks in advance for the advice - Francis. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- | Francis Jones, Science Education & Applied Geophysics, | Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative, | Department of Earth & Ocean Sciences, UBC. | http://www.eos.ubc.ca/public/people/faculty/F.Jones.html -------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE THAT I TRY TO ANSWER EMAILS WITHIN 2-3 business days.
