Team Based Learning and The Student Experience: Reconceptualising the Student Teacher-Relationship - NET2017 Conference

Team Based Learning (TBL) is a learning and assessment strategy that aims to foster learning through the facilitation and development of group cohesiveness which transforms small groups into effective learning teams. It is based on four principles: large teams; student accountability; use of assignments which promote learning and team development and frequent and immediate feedback. During 2014/15 following a presentation about TBL at the NET conference in September 2014 a team of nursing academics collaborated in the development of a new module based on the principles of TBL the aim of which was to facilitate the development of critical appraisal skills among pre-registration students. Implementation commenced in October 2015.
