Class 2B: Team-Based Learning (TBL)
Team-Based Learning (TBL) was first developed by Larry Michaelsen in 1979 while teaching a business management course at the University of Oklahoma. He had been using group work for content application, a common technique used in business schools. When his class size was increased from 40 to 120 students, he was faced with a decision to either return to the lecture format or adapt group work in a way that would work for a large-sized class (Michaelsen & Sweet, 2011). The result was a modified cooperative learning (or team learning) approach based on group work with specific interactive learning and learner-centered instruction components that promote learner autonomy and intrinsic motivation.
