In this issue, the team has focused on the theme of "Team-Based Learning (TBL)". TBL is a form of active learning that helps students practice critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills while being an efficient teaching method that requires fewer resources. It should be promoted for broader application in health science schools. However, without a proper understanding of the principles behind designing an effective team-based learning classroom, students may not fully develop the skills intended.
This issue of SHEE Journal presents important insights into implementing TBL, including:
- The rationale for using TBL.
- How to organize student groups effectively.
- Designing assessments and evaluations.
- Classroom management and facilitation.
The content provides valuable guidance for health science educators on how to design and implement TBL classrooms. It includes articles from faculty members and physicians from the Siriraj Health science Education Excellence center, Siriraj Medical School, and external experts. This comprehensive approach is intended to be highly beneficial for readers seeking to enhance their TBL practices in health science education.
