| Descrizione: | Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an active teaching method where students play an active role and learn through dynamic team-based tasks. This method was used by a group of undergraduate students in a Matter and Energy Balances course, part of the Chemical Civil Engineering Program at the University of Bío Bío in Chile. TBL was executed in order to facilitate teamwork and improve student performance as compared to a conventional lecture-based class. The study was conducted during the last topic unit of the course from 2014-2016, producing results that contrast those attained in 2015-2017. Based on the results, student grades peaked (4.9), achieving the highest final grade in 2016 (4.9) after implementing this method a second time. Average student grades were between 6.5 and 6.6 from 2014-2016 compared to 6.0 and 4.9 during 2015 and 2017 (based on a grading scale of 1.0 as a minimum and 7.0 as a maximum). The results of a perception questionnaire reveal that the method facilitates teamwork, creating a cooperative work environment where more than 90% of students feeling satisfied with the method. |
