Outline of Final Research Achievements

Team-based learning (TBL) is one of the group-style lesson methods to realize active learning. This study proposed a team formation method using GP scores (i.e., scores that reflect positive results and facilitative aspects of learning motivation) to enhance TBL effectiveness. The proposed method relies on evenly distributing highly-motivated learners to each team. We employed the proposed method in TBL, which was integrated into an information literacy lecture at the university and evaluated to measure its effect. As a result, the study findings confirmed that the effect of TBL can be improved by the proposed method. In other words, it was possible to demonstrate that the team formation method proposed in this study is beneficial in TBL.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

グループ形式の授業が急増する中，グループ形式の授業はメンバーに依存した効果があるためどのようなグループ編成にするかが重要な課題となっている．本研究が提案したチーム編成手法は，この課題を解決する方策の一つとなり得る．また，提案手法が特別な設備や事前研修などを要しない簡便な手法であることから，グループ形式授業の導入推進と導入効果向上に貢献できる可能性がある点で社会的意義があると考えられる．
