Background

Team-based learning (TBL) has been applied to various courses in medical schools, and a void in the literature exists regarding the attitude of TBL in radiology. The objective of this study was to evaluate medical students’ attitudes toward TBL in radiology.

Summary of Work

T-RAT

One hundred seventy nine 5^t^h year medical students in Buddhachinaraj Medical Education Center in elective course of radiology in academic year 2010-2013 were studied topic gastrointestinal radiology by TBL method. At the end of the course, they were surveyed for their attitudes toward TBL in radiology by using 10 (five rating scale) questionnaire items. Data were analyzed for frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation.

Summary of Results

The level of attitudes was very good (mean > 4.21) for knowledge after study, teamwork, communication skill, coordination, responsibility, instructor feedback and harmony. The level of attitudes was good (mean 3.41 - 4.20) for preparation and duration. The level of attitudes was acceptable (mean 3.15) for knowledge before study. Mean T-RAT scores was significantly higher than mean I-RAT scores (70.39 ± 9.84, 33.41 ± 15.57, p < 0.001).

Conclusion

The results reveal that medical students’ attitudes toward TBL in radiology are good to very good.

Take-home Messages

TBL is one of the good choice study method in radiology.
