Investigating student learning through team-based learning calculus instruction
Page: 1657
We have a collection of ongoing studies designed to investigate the impact of Team-Based Learning (TBL) in calculus instruction on student learning. The first study involves the implementation of TBL in Calculus I and II. Initial findings suggest that TBL students have larger score gains on the Calculus Concept Inventory (CCI) than students receiving traditional instruction. However, there seems to be a gender gap as women tended to have smaller CCI gains than men. The second and third studies investigate the transfer of calculus to major courses, one by asking calculus content questions in subsequent major courses and the other through the educational setting of first-year student Learning Communities.
