Enhancing Social Work Education through Team-Based Learning
Gillespie, Judy
Journal of Social Work Education, v48 n2 p377-387 Spr-Sum 2012
Group learning strategies are used extensively in social work education, despite the challenges and negative outcomes regularly experienced by students and faculty. Building on principles of cooperative learning, team-based learning offers a more structured approach that maximizes the benefits of cooperative learning while also offering considerable flexibility. This article presents the core principles and elements of team-based learning, provides examples of its use in 2 undergraduate social work courses, and highlights some of the benefits and challenges of applying it in social work curricula. (Contains 2 figures.)
