摘要

Background and Aim

Active learning, especially through interdisciplinary approaches, is increasingly recognized as a means to enhance the effectiveness of health promotion programs. This study evaluated the impact of introducing a team-based learning (TBL) session, structured as an interdisciplinary experience, on students from health-related faculties. The primary aim was to demonstrate the effects of an interdisciplinary TBL session across five faculties at Galala University.

Methods

Using a quasi-experimental pre-post design, an interdisciplinary TBL session was conducted at Galala University, involving students from the Faculties of Medicine, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Applied Health Sciences, and Nursing. Twenty-five students volunteered and were divided into five teams. The session, centered on bronchial asthma, followed a three-phase structure: an initial mini-lecture, readiness assurance tests (administered individually and in teams), a debriefing session, and a group application task. At the third phase, students completed a satisfaction survey.

Results

Team-based readiness assurance test (t-RAT) scores consistently exceeded individual readiness assurance test (i-RAT) scores across nine multidisciplinary questions, indicating improved performance through teamwork. The satisfaction survey revealed that the majority of students perceived benefits from participating in the interdisciplinary session.

Conclusion

TBL may play a valuable role in adopting hands-on involvement, peer-assisted learning, critical thinking, and could enrich the student-centered learning through collaborative problem-solving in bronchial asthma.
