| [JOINT] Team-based Learning in Dental Education Utilizing an Audience Response System | ||||||||
Sponsored by: ADEA | ||||||||
| Description: Dental educators will be given the opportunity to experience and practice using a Team-Based Learning (TBL) approach to didactic teaching presented through a problem-based learning case combined with an audience response system. In Team-Based Learning, larger classes are divided into small groups of students who work collaboratively on problem-solving guided through interactive sessions with faculty. This approach allows faculty members to pretest students’ knowledge upon entry into a course or section, and then posttest upon completion of instruction allowing for immediate feedback about the outcome of instruction to the students as well as the faculty. This methodology has been successfully utilized in medicine in various courses from preclinical to residency programs (Haidet P et al., 2002 and 2003 ;Hunt DP et al., 2003), but to date there is no report of its application in dental education. The aim of this workshop is to highlight the benefits of stimulating student learning with improved test results in the “didactic arena” with small groups utilizing an Audience Response System. Using a problem-based case approach, participants will be able to discuss Team-Based Learning, describe the collaboration between Team-Based and Problem Base Learning, compare and contrast the challenges and advantages of Team-Based Learning versus “traditional” didactic classroom experience, use an Audience Response System, and practice Team-Based Learning activities with an Audience Response System. This combined and interactive system to teaching allows small groups of dental students to solve the same problem simultaneously and present their solutions for immediate discussion and comparison to the larger group which are evaluated for accuracy immediately by the faculty member. Knowledge assessment and attitudinal survey results have demonstrated outstanding results using this teaching modality. Participants will receive a detailed handout of Team-Based Learning procedures and literature supporting this teaching methodology | ||||||||
