To determine fourth-year pharmacy students' learning experiences with team-based learning (TBL) at a South African university. A survey composed of biographical data and quantitative questions focusing on student learning experiences was sent to students. There were 183 (91.5%) students who completed the survey. Students had a positive experience with TBL and found it valuable and more worthwhile than traditional lecture methods, regardless of their initial negative perception of TBL. Students enjoyed working in multi-cultural, mixed gender teams. TBL is an effective teaching strategy to simulate the reality of health professions where practitioners are required to work in a team. TBL should be offered in more courses in health professions curriculum in South Africa to strengthen and promote efficient health care delivery.
为了确定南非一所大学的药学专业四年级学生在团队学习(TBL)中的学习体验。我们向学生发送了一份包含个人信息和关注学生学习体验的定量问题的调查问卷。有 183 名(91.5%)学生完成了调查。学生对 TBL 有积极的体验,认为它很有价值,比传统的讲座方法更值得,无论他们最初对 TBL 的看法如何。学生喜欢在多元文化、男女混合的团队中工作。TBL 是一种有效的教学策略,可以模拟卫生专业人员在团队中工作的现实情况。TBL 应该在南非的更多健康专业课程中提供,以加强和促进高效的医疗保健服务。
