Conduct a survey to identify professors and courses that currently use the TBL methodology at the university.
TBL—Innovation group —Planning and Improvement Service for the teaching
Team-Based Learning (TBL)
group on team-based learning.
What is the group ?
The group will be a community of innovative professor to promoting more effective, personalized teaching grounded in scientific evidence.
01 · Context and mission statement
The Team-Based Learning (TBL) methodology aligns with the University of Navarra’s “ model ” (educational ), promoting active, participatory, and student-centered learning. This “ group de Innovación” ( professor ) was created to consolidate, structure, and disseminate this “ internship,” ensuring its quality and consistency across the various “ Schools ” and centers.
mission statement
Promote the " knowledge " and the use of the TBL methodology at the University of Navarra in the " teaching " across various curricula and academic disciplines.
Vision
We aim to bring about internal structural change that will position the TBL as a methodological benchmark at the University, promoting dialogic approaches over a lecture-style “ class ” and encouraging students to monitor their own learning. We seek to establish a solid “ network ” of internal and external “ partnership ,” culminating in the organization of conferences and the attainment of official certifications.
02 · Team of work
The " group " is made up of faculty members from various departments at the University who are committed to the " innovation in education."
(Coming soon: list of members of the group.)
03 · Strategic Directions and Objectives

06 · The Students' Experience
Testimony
"Using TBL in the pathophysiology module ( class ) was very enriching because it helped me integrate the theoretical content covered in the lecture series ( class ) with real clinical cases. In addition, working on and discussing the concepts with my classmates helped me greatly expand my reasoning; it allowed me to consider approaches I hadn’t initially thought of; and it improved my understanding of the lecture series ( subject).
