Why Not Try TBL to Improve Student Nurses Clinical Reasoning & Communication?Tracy L. Brewer, DNP, RNC-OB, CLC Crystal Hammond, MSN,CNMDeborah Ulrich, PhD, RN • Introduction • Nursing has long been searching for creative ways to assure students’ abilities to improve clinical reasoning and communication. • Strategies to relate didactic content to clinical application has been a challenge for nursing educators. • Students entering the clinical site are ill prepared to connect concepts from didactic lecture for clinical application. • An immediate need for change in pedagogical strategies was identified. • The Steps to Success • Grading Scale • 93.0 –100 = A • 84.0 – 92.99 = B • 75.0 – 83.99 = C • 66.0 – 74.99 = D • < 65.99 = F **TBL Started *Interactive Teaching • The Steps to Change • Commitment and perseverance to change teaching strategy to team-based learning (TBL) despite others saying it could not be done • Full support of administration • Development of iRATs, gRATS, & applications • Selling the TBL strategy to the students through a TBL orientation • Doing it! • Conclusions • Students receptive to TBL stated, “I felt like I really learned how to think like a nurse!” • Some studentsfelt there was too much time spent out of class for preparation. • There was more resistance to implementation of TBL by faculty colleagues NOT teachingin the course than students who participated in the course using TBL strategies. • TBL strategies improved overall course grades, standardized test scores, clinical reasoning, and communication. • Further assessment of student learning and performance in the TBL environment is needed. • Implementation Nursing students participating in TBL applications Faculty Goal **TBL Started *Interactive Teaching • Acknowledgements • Dr. Dean Parmelee, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Boonshoft School of Medicine Wright State University for his continued mentorship with implementation of team-based learning. • NUR 3440 Nursing Students!
