Sommario/riassunto

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a unique, powerful, and proven form of small-group learning that is being increasingly adopted in higher education. Teachers who use TBL report high levels of engagement, critical thinking, and retention among their students. TBL has been used successfully in both small and large classes, in computer- supported and online classes; and because it is group work that works, it has been implemented in nearly every discipline and in several countries around the world.This book introduces the elements of TBL and how to apply them in the social sciences and humanities.
