I found this iClicker blog post of research on peer instruction interesting because of the similarity between how the researchers used iClickers and how TBL works during the Readiness Assurance Process. The research reported in the blog indicates that students are better able to solve/answer problems after first solving a similar but different problem with their peers. Seems like the same theory behind the iRAT and tRAT of TBL. In other words, I think this research extends to TBL providing evidence for the efficacy of TBL's RAP.
Has anyone done similar research with the RAP of TBL?
Cheers
