Description - Team-Based Learning: Small Group Learning's Next Big Step by Larry K. Michaelsen

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a unique form of small-group learning
designed in and for the college classroom. TBL's special
combination of incentives and corrective feedback quickly
transforms groups into high-performance learning teams, with no
time taken from the coverage of course content. In this issue, the
authors describe the practical elements of TBL, how it can look in
the classroom, and what they have learned as it has grown into an
interdisciplinary and international practice.
Chapters discuss:

The Essential Elements of Team-Based Learning

The Social Foundation of Team-Based Learning: Students
Accountable to Students

Knowledge is No Longer Enough: Enhancing Profession Education
with Team-Based Learning

Teaching Skills for Facilitating Team-Based Learning

Peer Assessment and Evaluation in Team-Based Learning

Technological Alternatives to Paper-Based Components of
Team-Based Learning

Team-Based Learning in Asynchronous Online Settings

Importantly, TBL is not about teaching but about learning. Several
articles in this volume illustrate this emphasis by using TBL
students' own words to reinforce key ideas.
This is the 116th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report
series New Directions for Teaching and Learning,
which offers a comprehensive range of ideas and techniques for
improving college teaching based on the experience of seasoned
instructors and the latest findings of educational and
psychological researchers.
