Teaching Gen Z with TBL: What Changes in Your Design?

Team-Based Learning

Dear community,

If students can learn the “what” online—especially with AI and on-demand resources—the classroom becomes the place for the “how”: how to reason together, disagree productively, and build confidence as a team.

:speech_balloon: In your experience, what changes the most when you design TBL specifically with Gen Z students in mind?

  • The readiness assurance process
  • The application exercises
  • The facilitation/debrief
  • Other (share in comments)

And if you’re open to sharing:

  1. What’s one thing you stopped doing because it didn’t work as well with today’s students?
  2. What’s one thing you added that immediately improved team discussion quality?

Much shorter intra-team discussion times. Students seem to want to rush to get the answer and are distracted by other things than the task at hand. I’ve massively reduced the time teams have to discuss the tAPP (which has also shortened my applications) to keep the class moving and on-topic.
