I first heard about TBL during the first year of the Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (TLHE) Program and decided I wanted to learn more, so I signed up to a training session led by Dr. Graeme Jones. I have been embedding TBL into my teaching ever since!
TBL has been invaluable for promoting participation and engagement within the ever-increasing class sizes, and in providing instant feedback on students’ level of understanding. The students on my modules arrive with a range of experience in chemistry, and I find that TBL is particularly beneficial for creating safe and supportive environments within these diverse groups.
During the TLHE program I investigated the effect of TBL on students’ confidence levels within problem sessions, and I focused on how the quality of discussions could be promoted for my TLHE MA dissertation.
