Title
The association between Team-based Learning (TBL) and Learning Management Systems (LMS) by Moodle
Theme
5BB Team Based Learning/Learning anatomy
Background
TBL is an important active learning methodology that consolidates concepts, provides teamwork and requires decision making.
Summary of Work
We used the Moodle® to conduct the first three steps of TBL. The following steps were conducted in a traditional way. Finally, the student's perception of the method was evaluated using the Liker scale.
Summary of Results
In the first step the matters were made available in different media via Moodle®.
In the second step (iRAT), randomized questions and answers, with time restriction and without feedback was fulfilled by the students in the computer lab. Also in the computer lab during the third step (tRAT), the same questionnaire was made available in adaptive mode, with immediate feedback, penalty setting and time limit.
Assessment of the activity by the students got satisfaction rates between 94.37% and 96.25%.
Conclusion
The randomization of the questions and answers during iRAT avoided cheat and the achievement of immediate report enabled the establishment of performance-based groups. Immediate feedback during the tRAT consolidated the main aspect of the methodology that is the interest in performing teamwork to take shared decision.
Graphics generated in the Moodle® evidenced issues of greatest difficulty, helping to drive the fourth step in a more objective way.
The combination of active learning methodologies and information and communication technology seems to constitute a need and an advance in the medical field.
Take-home Messages
In cyberculture times the use of information technology enriches the teaching and learning process.
