Hi Ron The switch in thinking is hard But once you get it...it really is easier for the next problems Jim Sibley Sorry for brief message -sent from my iPad On 2012-05-14, at 4:48 PM, "Carson, Ron" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Thanks Larry.

Your "setting" is so general that asking for a "best" theory isn't really a specific choice. As a result, I'm not at all sure that students would view your question as a Significant problem. There are a variety of ways that you could modify the question so that it was both Significant and Specific. The starting spot would be to give a much richer scenario (i.e.,, lots of detail about the patient). Then you could ask something like, "Which theory would most clearly support (or recommend against) the idea of _____ (fill in the blank with a plausible next step in treating the patient. Another possibility would be to name a plausible next treatment step and ask something like, "Which theory would predict that the outcome would be _____ (and specify some plausible outcome). Another possibility would be to ask, "Based on _____ (name a specific theory), what would be the most critical component o > f any tr > 2) You DO need to give all of the groups the Same problem (that's one of the 4 S's). If students are working with different scenarios, they will have neither motivation or information to challenge other groups decisions. > > Larry > > On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 2:05 PM, Carson, Ron <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: > I am wrong to think the scenarios should be the same for all groups? > > From: Levine, Ruth [mailto:[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>] > Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 2:58 PM > To: Carson, Ron > Subject: RE: Good Examplem of Applilcation Exercise? > > Hi Ron: > I would suggest instead giving everyone the same patient scenario and asking them to come up with the BEST life care setting (and they must have a SINGLE BEST theory to support it) > Ruth Levine > UTMB-Galveston > > From: Team-Based Learning [mailto:[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>] On Behalf Of Carson, Ron > Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 1:50 PM > To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Good Examplem of Applilcation Exercise? > > Is this a good example of an application exercise scenario: > > “You and your "team" are designing a life care setting for older adults.
