Teaching and Learning Conference 2019: "Diversity is being at the party. Inclusiveness is being invited to dance”. TBL approach to teaching Economics

In this interactive session we present the results of the application of the team-based learning (TBL) approach to a final year undergraduate core Economics course and we demonstrate the main features of this innovative pedagogy by engaging with the participants. The TBL approach is a well-structured teaching and group learning pedagogical strategy based on the theory of constructivism designed to engage students through individual testing and small group collaboration where tutors are facilitators who provide immediate process-driven feedforward responses. Our results show that TBL is a very rewarding and enjoyable experience which not only engaged students but drew us closer to their way of learning.
