Team-based learning (TBL) is a structured type of cooperative learning that has
growing application in medical education. This study compares levels of student
learning and teaching satisfaction for a neurology course between conventional
lecture and team-based learning.<o:p /></font></font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt text-align: justify text-justify: inter-ideograph"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><b>Methods:</b>
The study incorporated 70 students aged 19 to 22 years at the school of
rehabilitation. One half of the 16 sessions of the neurology course was taught
by lectures and the second half with team-based learning. Teaching satisfaction
for the teaching methods was determined on a scale with 5 options in response
to 20 questions.<o:p /></font></font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt text-align: justify text-justify: inter-ideograph"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><b>Results:</b>
Significant difference was found between lecture-based and team-based learning
in final scores (p<0.001). Content validity index of the scale of student
satisfaction was 94%, and external and internal consistencies of the scale were
0.954 and 0.921 orderly (p<0.001). The degree of satisfaction from TBL
compared to the lecture method was 81.3%.<o:p /></font></font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt text-align: justify text-justify: inter-ideograph"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri"><b>Conclusion:</b>
Results revealed more success and student satisfaction from team-based learning
compared to conventional lectures in teaching neurology to undergraduate
students. It seems that application of new teaching methods such as team-based
learning could be effectively introduced to improve levels of education and
student learning.<o:p /></font></font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font>
