Introduction to Team-Based Learning
Faculty Development

Tuesday, November 10, 2009
12:00 PM

UC 310

Dr. Karla Kubitz, Towson University

This 1.5 hour workshop will introduce participants to the team-based learning teaching (TBL) teaching methodology.  TBL was developed by Michaelsen, Knight, and Fink (2002). It is a teaching methodology in which there is a shift from the instructor as ‘sage on the stage’ to ‘guide on the side’. 

In TBL, students:

  • are assigned to permanent teams for the semester;
  • complete assigned readings ahead of class;
  • take individual and team quizzes on assigned readings prior to lecture; and
  • focus strongly on learning how to apply course material to real world problems.
Karla Kubitz is an associate professor at Towson University.  She has a PhD in Exercise Science from Arizona State University, does psychophysiologically-based research, and teaches in the area of sport and exercise psychology.  She has been teaching using team-based learning for the past five years and authored a chapter in the recently published Team-based Learning in Health Professions Education book.   

This event is sponsored by the Faculty Development Center.

Eric Mazur

Eric Mazur
I thought I was a good teacher until I discovered my students were just memorizing information rather than learning to understand the material. Who was to blame? The students? The material? I will explain how I came to the agonizing conclusion that the culprit was neither of these. It was my teaching that caused students to fail! I will show how I have adjusted my approach to teaching and how it has improved my students' performance significantly.

Eric Mazur is the Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University. An internationally recognized scientist and researcher, he leads a vigorous research program in optical physics and supervises one of the largest research groups in the Physics Department at Harvard University.

Peer Instruction Workshop

Eric Mazur

Peer Instruction
The basic goals of Peer Instruction are to encourage and make use of student interaction during lectures, while focusing students' attention on underlying concepts and techniques. The method has been assessed in many studies using standardized, diagnostic tests and shown to be considerably more effective than the conventional lecture approach to teaching. Peer Instruction is now used in a wide range of science and math courses at the college and secondary level.

In this two hour workshop, participants will learn about Peer Instruction, serve as the “class” in which Peer Instruction is demonstrated, discuss several models for implementing the technique into the classroom, and learn about available teaching resources.

Eric Mazur is the Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University. An internationally recognized scientist and researcher, he leads a vigorous research program in optical physics and supervises one of the the largest research groups in the Physics Department at Harvard University.
