Team-Based Learning

Team-based learning (TBL) is a student-centered instructional strategy that utilizes a flipped classroom model allowing students the opportunity to work in groups to solve authentic problems. TBL is a collaborative, active learning strategy that can be utilized in both large and small classrooms, and “supports the development of high-performance learning teams and provides opportunities for these teams to engage in significant learning tasks” (Fink, 2004, p.9). Learning activities within TBL follow a specific order, i.e., pre-work completed prior to class, individual and team readiness assurance tests, immediate feedback, and application activity.
