A Team-based Learning Guide for Faculty in the Health Professions

Team-based Learning is a unique pedagogy designed to engage students in active learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Students receive immediate feedback in their learning through readiness assurance testing and application exercises. Students also learn and develop skills needed to work in teams and to teach each other as they work thorough team assignments. This guide provides details on accomplishing the four steps that must be done to design an effective team-based curriculum or topic and examples of how those steps have been used to create courses for health professional students.

objectives for those concepts; 3. Designing guided learning materials that are
used during pre-class independent study to facilitate student learning; and 4.

A Team-Based Learning Guide for Students in Health Professional Schools

The purpose of this book is to provide a concise guide on how health professional students can become actively engaged in team-based learning (TBL) and sharpen their clinical reasoning and critical thinking skills. TBL makes learning passionate, relevant, and fun, and it teaches students the benefits of working in teams.

Assessment of student learning has become a major criterion for obtainingand
sustaining regional accreditation ofall colleges and universities in the United
States. And, thatisa good thing.How can a studentbe sure that heor sheis
learning what the teacher wants them to learn? Course exams provide some data
, but as already mentioned the learning that leads to a passing grade on exams
may be very shallow and associated with a low retention rate. It is only when
students are ...

The Challenge of Problem-based Learning

Problem-based learning is a way of constructing and teaching courses using problems as the stimulus and focus for student activity. This edition looks at the topic in the light of changes since the first edition (1991). There are new chapters on the impact of PBL, and inquiry and action learning.

Introduction Is it possible to provide a prescription of what is and is not
problembased learning? We suggested in Chapter 1 that it is possible to do so at
the most basic level. Problem-based learning is an approach to structuring the
curriculum which involves confronting students with problems from practice which
provide a stimulus for learning. However, there are many possible forms that a
curriculum and process for teaching and learning might take and still be
compatible with this ...

The Population Ecology of Interest Representation

Lobbying Communities in the American States

This examination of lobbying communities explores how interest group populations are constructed and how they influence politics and public policy. By examining how populations of interest groups are comprised, this work fills an important gap between existing theories of the origins of individual interest groups and studies of interest group influence. The population ecology model of interest communities developed here builds on insights first developed in population biology and later employed by organizational ecologists. The model's central premise is that it is the environmental forces confronting interest organizations that most directly shape the contours of interest populations. After examining the demography of interest organizations in the fifty American states, the population ecology model is used to account for variations in the density and diversity of their interest communities, the nature of competition among similar interest organizations to establish viable niches, and the impact of alternative configurations of interest communities on the legislative process and the policies it produces. These empirical findings suggest that the environment of interest communities is highly constraining, limiting their size, composition, and potential impact on politics.

For the most part, however, this literature has been descriptive, with scholars
contending over whether balkanization provides an accurate description of
interest organization communities. Given the importance accorded to how we
answer this question, it is surprising that much less attention has been devoted to
explaining why and under what conditions balkanization can be sustained. The
best explanation we have is niche theory. J. Q. Wilson (1973, 263), although not
employing the ...

On the Theory of Interest

The Theory of Interest is concerned with the problem of explaining (A) why economic systems have interest rates and (B) what determines the values these interest rates assume. The purpose of this paper is to give a self-contained exposition of an approach to these questions developed mostly over the past twenty years. Making use of a simplified economy in which consumption goods are produced from labor and capital, it is shown that even in a steady state under 'normal' conditions it is necessary to have an interest rate which is strictly greater than the growth rate of the labor force if the economy is to be in equilibrium meaning that supply and demand for all goods are equal. This answers (A) above. In the final section, the author answers (B) by showing that the interest rate r gives, roughly speaking, a measure of the amount of increase in future 'consumption' obtainable for a unit sacrifice of consumption in the present. (Author).
