Team-Based Learning (TBL) is most commonly associated with medical and professional education, yet its structured collaborative framework may offer particular advantages in formal sciences. In this seminar, I will present the implementation of TBL in a basic undergraduate course in mathematical statistics at the University of Tartu.
The course serves students from diverse programmes and backgrounds, including medicine, engineering, and natural sciences, many of whom approach statistics with considerable anxiety. I will briefly outline the core components of TBL and describe how these elements were adapted to my course.
Special attention will be given to the practical implementation of TBL within a virtual learning environment (Moodle). I will also reflect on pedagogical challenges, student responses, and the implications of shifting responsibility for learning from lecturer to students.
