Dear Marina,
I, like Jim, give students a practice RAT over the syllabus. The flow of the "unit" is as follows:
> I present a brief TBL intro including the fact that I use backward design.
> I demonstrate how I use backwards design by:
    1) Explaining that the he first application will be students determining a grading system for the class and that they will be given a demonstration RAT over the syllabus and the answers can be found in the course syllabus.
    2) Giving them 10 minutes to study the syllabus (which contains information on the components that must be included in the grading system--including ranges within which they have the opportunity to decide-- and a description of the process that they will need to follow to set the grade weights).
    3) Giving the RAT and answering questions.
    4) Having them actually set the grade weights for the class.
By the time they are done:
1) The teams are well on their way to becoming cohesive,
2) Students understand how TBL works.
3) Students understand and have generally bought into the grading process.

Hello everyone!

At the beginning of the semester, when I present TBL to my students (second year of a bachelor course in Chemistry), I use a group activity to show them how powerful and engaging is working in teams and how different the point of view of the single student is, if compared to a team. This activity, though, is not structured as a TBL module.

I’m looking for some material which could be useful for any subject (that is, not related in particular to chemistry or science), structured as a TBL module (i-RAT and t-RAT, at least one t-APP), to assign to student in order to show them how TBL works.

 

Thank you for any suggestion you may give me.

Kind regards

 

Marina Di Carro
