Quality of Medical Students Performance through Team-Based Learning in Comparison to Performance in Traditional Lecture

Background: Team based learning deserved more attention nowadays due to its superiority over traditional based learning. One of the methods used to determine advantages of tam based learning(TBL) over traditional lecture (TL) is to determine the standard setting of norm-referenced and criterion referenced (Angoff) for both methods of instruction. Aim: To measure students' performance in TBL, TL through the norm-referenced, criterion-referenced, standard settings in undergraduate students program. Methodology: This is an experimental study done in faculty of medicine, University of Bahri, Sudan during July 2018 for pediatrics course. All student enrolled received their TBL, TL activity fallowed by MCQs test, then standard setting performed by norm-referenced and criterion referenced (Angoff) for both methods of instruction. Result: Standard setting using both methods showed significantly high level cut off score when instruction performed through TBL. Conclusion: Cut off score to determine pass/fails usually high through TBL instruction, which insure high level of performance and ultimately safe doctors.
