Team-Based Learning in the Social Sciences and Humanities: Group Work that Works to Generate Critical Thinking and Engagement

Editat de Michael Sweet, Larry K. Michaelsen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 ian 2012

Subliniem relevanța volumului Team-Based Learning in the Social Sciences and Humanities ca o resursă aplicată pentru cadrele didactice care doresc să transforme dinamica sălii de curs. Această ediție extinde metodologia Team-Based Learning (TBL) dincolo de sferele tehnice, adaptând-o nevoilor specifice ale științelor sociale și umaniste. Descoperim aici o abordare structurată a învățării în grupuri mici, care pune accent pe gândirea critică și pe angajamentul intelectual, elemente adesea dificil de cuantificat în aceste domenii.

Cartea este organizată riguros, începând cu secțiunea „Foundations”, unde Michael Sweet și Larry K. Michaelsen definesc ucenicia cognitivă și mecanismele de responsabilitate individuală. Partea a doua, „Voices of Experience”, oferă studii de caz concrete din psihologie, sociologie, economie și metode de cercetare, oferind exemple de sarcini și exerciții care facilitează atingerea rezultatelor de învățare dorite. Această structură permite cititorului să vadă nu doar teoria, ci și implementarea practică în diverse culturi disciplinare.

Ca alternativă la Getting Started With Team-Based Learning de Jim Sibley pentru cursurile de pedagogie universitară, acest volum are avantajul de a trata specific nuanțele disciplinelor unde interpretarea și dezbaterea primează în fața răspunsurilor unice. Față de Team-Based Learning for Health Professions Education, lucrarea de față se distanțează de contextul clinic pentru a explora modul în care echipele permanente pot funcționa în seminarele de literatură sau teatru. În contextul operei editorilor, acest titlu consolidează expertiza lui Larry K. Michaelsen, pionierul metodei, oferind o punte necesară între teoria generală a TBL și aplicațiile sale specifice în mediul academic umanist.

Descriere scurtă

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a unique, powerful, and proven form of small-group learning that is being increasingly adopted in higher education. Teachers who use TBL report high levels of engagement, critical thinking, and retention among their students. TBL has been used successfully in both small and large classes, in computer-supported and online classes; and because it is group work that works, it has been implemented in nearly every discipline and in countries around the world.This book introduces the elements of TBL and how to apply them in the social sciences and humanities. It describes the four essential elements of TBL – readiness assurance, design of application exercises, permanent teams, peer evaluation – and pays particular attention to the specification of learning outcomes, which can be a unique challenge in these fields.The core of the book consists of examples of how TBL has been incorporated into the cultures of disciplines as varied as economics, education, literature, politics, psychology, and theatre. The authors explain why they felt a need to change how they taught and why they chose TBL. Furthermore, each chapter provides examples of the assignments and exercises they use to help their students achieve the specific learning outcomes of their courses.At a time of increasing course sizes, and emphasis on learning outcomes, TBL offers the means to meet such demands while connecting students to their coursework, and stimulating their intellectual engagement.

Recenzii

"It is always a pleasure to read and review a book that resonates with one's own professional 'touchstones' and this work did not disappoint. The mantra, 'it is essential we provide the lifelong learning and work skills to prepare learners to be effective in collaborative group work contexts they will undoubtedly find themselves [in].' can elicit collective bobbing nods of agreement from almost any audience of educators. Combine this imperative with the timeless need to explicitly integrate critical thinking and learner engagement into our curricula and you will, undoubtedly, rouse even the most somnolent to rise to their feet, applauding. This book, edited by Michael Sweet and Larry Michaelsen succeeds in elegantly dovetailing these elements and in the process 'gets our attention' with its emphasis on practical applications—moving theory into practice."
