Hi All, For students who grew up in lecture-dominant culture, I wonder how they behave in a TBL session with a skilled teacher/facilitator.

If the teacher is ready (i.e., understands and applies TBL "standard practice" and has well designed application assignments), students are always ready. I also agree that a well-designed before and after measure might be useful from a research standpoint.

The content of that module may be TBL itself or a topic appropriate for your learning culture. After experiencing the whole process (short advance assignment, IRAT, tRAT, appeals, and applications) the "readiness" for working as a team is intuitively grasped and highly motivated by a desire to learn well and get good grades. The beauty of the TBL strategy is that it rewards collaborative and cooperative learning, so the very behaviors that fuel that process are developed without "teaching" those behaviors. To me, the motivation for investigating "readiness to work on a team" would be for research purposes mainly. best, Paul On Jul 4, 2014, at 12:54 PM, Judith Buchanan wrote: Hello, I will be introducing team-based learning to a group of year one medical students this fall and would like to get a sense of their readiness to work on a team. In the back of my mind I guess I’m looking for an easy-to-use tool something along the lines of the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) Questionnaire. So far in my search I haven’t found anything that suits, but then perhaps my search may have been too narrow. I’m hoping that someone from this list will be able to help.
