The purpose of this workshop is to empower attendees to explore common barriers and problem-solve proposed solutions through collaborative discussion of context and assumptions followed by critical analysis against a quality learning environment criteria. A brief summary of TBL texts and publications that address TBL barriers will be presented as part of readiness. Ofstad and Mohr will also present findings from a survey of current TBLC Certified Trainer Consultants to further identify common barriers and potential resolutions to use as a foundation for workshop applications and facilitated team and classroom discussion. Attendees will also be guided through a structured exploration of the TBL Listserv to sample additional problems and analyze resolutions shared by the Listserv learning community.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able engage in self-directed problem solving for improved TBL delivery:
- Identify: define common barriers, articulate assumptions, and delineate knowledge gaps.
- Structure: classify barriers by context and instructional phase; break down and prioritize sub-problems.
- Solutions: research prior knowledge; generate, reuse, and/or integrate possible solutions and limitations; assess against a quality learning environment criteria.
- Improve: validate implantation; solicit peer review and reflect; generalize to other problems; reproduce and disseminate if novel.
