Ep 56 - Team-based learning, interdisciplinary learning and student feedback on teaching

Dr Sophia Tan, Senior Assistant Director, Centre for Teaching, Learning & Pedagogy | Nanyang Technological University, Singapore In this video, we chat with Dr Sophia Tan from Nanyang Technological University, SIngapore, about team-based learning (TBL) and its relationship to interdisciplinary learning and student feedback on teaching. Sophia unpacks TBL as a form of collaborative, small-group learning that follows a very specific structure and seeks to overcome the passive learning approach of lectures to keep students active and engaged. Pointing to TBL’s strength in advancing feedback - peer instruction and peer feedback in particular - to foreshadow the skills students will need in their professional lives, Sophia also emphasises the need for a system of feedback that doesn’t eclipse individual evaluation within the group setting and embeds feedback loops on teaching and learning efficacy. How can educators use team-based learning in the most effective, scalable way to better engage learners and fulfil learning objectives?
