Team-Based Learning in a Statistical Literacy Class
St. Clair, Katherine; Chihara, Laura
Journal of Statistics Education, v20 n1 2012
Team-based learning (TBL) is a pedagogical strategy that uses groups of students working together in teams to learn course material. The main learning objective in TBL is to provide students the opportunity to "practice" course concepts during class-time. A key feature is multiple-choice quizzes that students take individually and then re-take as a team. TBL was originally conceived by Larry Michaelsen (University of Central Missouri) for his business classes and has proven to be especially effective in training medical students. In this paper, we describe an adaptation of TBL for an undergraduate statistical literacy course. (Contains 1 footnote, 2 tables, and 2 figures.)
