ASSESSMENT OF THE LONG AND SHORT TERM EFFECTIVENESS OF TEAM BASED LEARNING IN PATHOLOGY
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Pathology is taught in 2 semesters (4th and 5th) at St Matthews University Cayman island spanning 6 months. This course is taught via didactic lectures and TBL sessions. We tried to understand the effectiveness of TBL session by looking at their performance on questions on TBL related topics verses the topics taught via lectures only. Since our exams are cumulative we had the opportunity to compare their performance of the learning objectives which were included in the exams of both semesters. In addition, we also tried to survey students’ perceptions to these TBL sessions via an online questionnaire.
