A Study to Compare Team-Based Learning Versus Self Learning on Learning Outcome Among Nursing Students in Selected College of Nursing, Bishrampur, Chhattisgarh

Abstract

Background: Team-Based Learning is an innovative, student-centred, active learning strategy designed to enhance knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills through teamwork. In Team Based Learning, learners are divided into small, diverse teams that remain consistent throughout the course. The learning process typically involves three main phases: pre-class preparation, readiness assurance testing, and application of concepts to problem-solving tasks. Through this structured approach, students engage more deeply with the content, apply theoretical knowledge to real-life scenarios, and develop communication and decision-making skills. Aim: To compare the outcome of Team Based Learning and Self Learning among nursing students. Setting and Design: the study was conducted at V.M. college of Nursing, Bishrampur (C.G.), A quasi-experimental research design was adopted. Material and Methods: 60 Nursing students were selected using random sampling technique and assigned into Team based Learning (n=30) and Self Learning (n=30). A self-structured tool to assess socio demographic variables and self-structured check list to assess the learning outcome (knowledge, comprehension, application and synthesis). Data are analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: the findings revealed a statistically significant difference in learning outcome between the Team Based Learning and Self Learning is accepted as tcal 2.24 is more than ttab 2.05 at p<0.05 level of significance. Total mean ± sd. percentage analysis shows that Team Based Learning in good category 86.66% and poor category 13.33% & Self Learning in good category 70% and poor category 30%. ‘t’-test to find out the Learning outcome of Team Based Learning & Self Learning on mean ± SD were 15.6 ± 2.25 and 13.56 ± 3.6 respectively. The result was analyzed using t-test and a significant and a significant improvement in learning outcome is statistically proved as 't' value calculated that is 2.24 is more than table value (2.05) at P>0.05 level of Significance.
