Good afternoon Judy, At Drake we used focused groups of students for the 1st 2 years of our new TBL therapeutics course. We made many changes as a result of the report from the focus group discussions. Here are some of the questions posed: How was your experience as a learner in Pharmacotherapeutics different from that of other classes you have taken at the College of Pharmacy? From your perspective as students, what were some of the more difficult challenges you encountered as you participated in this approach to learning? What were some of the strengths of TBL? What advice would you give to next year's class of students? What advice would you give to the professors? I hope this gives you some food for thought, best of success!

Thanks again to all who helped me out. So today I come looking for assistance again. I'll repeat the context: I'm part of a small group charged with pilot testing TBL with first and second year medical students in a Canadian University. One aspect of the research associated with the project involves using student focus groups to assess opinions, attitudes and perceptions of the TBL process. The University's research application requires a list of possible questions for the focus groups. I'm wondering if anyone in this group has used focus groups to gain students' perceptions of experiences with TBL. If indeed you have, would you be willing to able to share some or all of your focus group questions with me. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Judy Buchanan ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the TEAMLEARNING-L list, please click here.<https://lists.ubc.ca/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=TEAMLEARNING-L&A=1> Further information about the UBC Mailing Lists service can be found on the UBC IT website. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the TEAMLEARNING-L list, please click the following link: https://lists.ubc.ca/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=TEAMLEARNING-L&A=1 Further information about the UBC Mailing Lists service can be found on the UBC IT website.
