  1. TBL in Medical EducationGetting Beyond Covering ContentSmall Group Learning in a Large Group Setting Edward E. McKee Central Michigan University College of Medicine With Slides from Sandra Cook, , Dean Parmelee And Ruth Levine, UTMB.

  2. A 24 year old medical student presents with a complaint of feeling overwhelmed in preparation for an exam in three days, feels isolated from peers (all of whom study individually), finds lectures boring, and small groups not helpful except when the “answers” are given right away. Case #1

  3. A 46 year old associate professor of medicine presents with complaint of exasperation in teaching clinical pharmacology because the students, though bright enough, never seem to come prepared and ready to be challenged. Case #2

  4. A 51 year old professor and course director complains of fatigue from having to beg clinical faculty to teach small groups. She develops migraine when they either fail to show up or fail to follow the script for what to teach. Some even give their groups answers to exam questions! Case #3

  5. A “39” year old associate dean for med ed presents with complaint of too many complaints from faculty about students not coming to lecture and not being prepared for small group discussions. Even she feels that this ‘millennial generation’ wants to be spoon-fed and that many of the faculty have given up trying to become inspiring teachers. Case #4

  8. First Need to Form Teams… Principle: When forming teams, you want to ensure equal distribution of resources and maximize participation of all members Operationalized: Aim to identify important resources available to individuals and equally distribute those individuals The teacher forms the teams – not students 5-7 individuals per team R. Levine

  9. Components of TBLSequence of Learning R. Levine

  10. IUSM-SB Genetics Module:To Adequately Prepare for this TBL Session you must: • Read the lecture notes pages 51 – 69 and 87-91.. • View the Lecture recording (Camtasia ) online for Lectures 2 and 3 (Mendelian Inheritance and Population Genetics) ; or, • View PowerPoints 2-3 on Mendelian Inheritance.and Population Genetics • Reference in Genetics in Medicine 7th ED. Chapter 7, and Pages 192-199.

  11. IUSM-SB Genetics Module: Objectives 1. To explain the modes of inheritance of the most common genetic diseases. 2. To be able to write and interpret pedigree information from a patient history and to determine the most likely mode of inheritance. 3. To be able to calculate carrier frequency and allele frequency in defined populations given the incidence of an inherited disorder in that defined population. 4. To be able to integrate pedigree risk and population risk in calculating overall risk to any member of a pedigree. 5. To be able to identify and demonstrate when and how to use conditional probability in a risk calculation. 6. To demonstrate the role of fitness and selection in determining the likelihood of new mutations for a particular disorder. 7. To be able to use the Binomial theorem to calculate multiple probabilities in families. For example what is the probability that a heterozygous couple for Cystic Fibrosis alleles will have 2 affected children in a family of 5 children?

  12. Components of TBLSequence of Learning GRAT IRAT R. Levine

  13. Basic questions to: • Determine individual preparedness • Introduce basic information that must be understood for the application • Provide assessment that basic information is understood. • Typically 10 multiple choice questions (15 minutes). Our students take the IRAT onlinewith the benefit of immediate instructor item analysis. • Scantrons work well, but item analysis not immediately available. IRAT

  14. Students take the IRAT as a team. • This exercise is usually fairly easy for the class. (15 minutes). • Good opportunity to use IF AT cards. Teams answer all of the questions at one time. • Discussion focuses only on questions that were difficult as assessed by item analysis of IRAT scores and a scan of IF -AT cards.

  16. Significant problem • Same Problem • Single Best Answer • Teams must discuss the choices and arrive at a consensus best answer. (Generates good intra-team teaching and discussion.) • Simultaneous reporting • All teams report their answer at the same time. Lettered cards can be used or Audience response systems can be used. A team member must then justify their team’s answer. Robust inter-team discussions often follow when teams have selected different answers. The “Four S’s” of TBL*

  17. Questions must be challenging, but there should be a clear best answer. • Question should generate good team discussion. • The application must be perceived as productive. Students should feel that the exercise helped them learn the material. • Teams are allowed to challenge questions, but they must document the reasons for their challenge and/or re-write the question to make it better. Application

  18. The two finalists in the world arm-wrestling championships at Petaluma, California, are well-matched. Upper body muscle mass, insensitivity to pain, motivation, and experience are identical between the two. Vito, a Las Vegas bookie, slips you the results of each competitor’s physical exam and ‘asks’ you to predict the winner. What is most likely to determine the eventual winner? • Maximum cardiac output • Mitochondrial content of the exercising muscles • Muscle glycogen content • Oxygen carrying capacity of the blood • Phosphocreatine levels in the muscles Example Application Muliple Choice Question: Muscle Physiology

  19. Example Application Short Answer Question: A patient with the following symptoms has been admitted to ER. What imaging test would you order first? Write your response on the whiteboard

  20. Example Application Gallery Walk Question: A 16 year old girl named Jane has come to your office for counseling following a positive pregnancy test. She informs you that her maternal grandfather has a bleeding disorder and regularly has been injected with a protein called Factor VIII. Jane has 2 younger brothers that are in good health. Jane’s mother Judy is 39 years old and is also 3 months pregnant. Jane’s father Al is 60 years old and is in excellent health. Jane confides in you that the father of the baby is her first cousin Bill, who is 26 years old and talked her into a sexual liaison when she was “a little tipsy” from wine that was provided by Bill. List and describe all of the genetic and ethical issues that should be discussed during the counseling session. Place your teams answers on the easel paper provided. All teams post their answers at the same time. Then, have each team choose the response that they think is best (not including their own). (Simultaneously displayed.) Teams describe and defend their own answer as well as defend their choice for the best response.

  21. Peer evaluation is an important component of TBL, helping to assure that students are accountable to each other. Regular TBL exercises provide an excellent basis for students to practice, refine, and assess their peers on basic competencies: communication, life-long learning, self awareness, ethical and moral reasoning, problem solving, and professionalism. With some training and an appropriate peer evaluation instrument, students can obtain quality feedback from their peers on the degree to which they are mastering these competencies. This can be a significant added bonus of using TBL. Peer Evaluation in Team Based Learning
