TLDR
In this paper, the effectiveness of team-based learning has been evaluated with a social work research class and it was found that teambased learning was not more effective than alternate pedagogies in increasing MSW students' intent to incorporate research into practice.
Abstract
Social work students often have been labeled as research-reluctant. Consequently, it is important to identify effective teaching strategies. One innovative strategy is team-based learning. The effectiveness of team-based learning has not yet been evaluated with a social work research class. As a result, the current study compared the effectiveness of team-based learning with that of other pedagogies. Findings suggest that team-based learning was not more effective than alternate pedagogies in increasing MSW students' intent to incorporate research into practice. Notably, the team-based learning approach was more effective in increasing research self-efficacy. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Organic Collaborative Teams: The Role of Collaboration and Peer to Peer Support for Part-Time Doctoral Completion

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined organic collaboration as a naturally-formed dynamic peer-to-peer support group, built on individual strengths and differences, while focused on a common goal, and provided practical knowledge on ways students, faculty and higher education institutions can benefit from encouraging and supporting organic collaboration.

Longitudinal Student Research Competency: Comparing Online and Traditional Face-to-Face Learning Platforms

TL;DR: The authors compared longitudinal research self-efficacy and retention between a completely asynchronous Master of Social Work (MSW) online cohort and its traditional face-to-face counterpart and found that students gain and maintain confidence in research methods and evaluation regardless of the learning platform utilized.

Why Minimal Guidance During Instruction Does Not Work: An Analysis of the Failure of Constructivist, Discovery, Problem-Based, Experiential, and Inquiry-Based Teaching

TL;DR: In this article, the superiority of guided instruction is explained in the context of our knowledge of human cognitive architecture, expert-novice differences, and cognitive load, and it is shown that the advantage of guidance begins to recede only when learners have sufficiently high prior knowledge to provide "internal" guidance.

Problem-Based Learning: What and How Do Students Learn?.

TL;DR: Problem-based learning (PBL) as mentioned in this paper is an instructional method in which students learn through facilitated problem solving, where the teacher acts to facilitate the learning process rather than to provide knowledge.

Problem-based learning: a review of literature on its outcomes and implementation issues

TL;DR: It is recommended that caution be exercised in making comprehensive, curriculum‐wide conversions to PBL until more is learned about (1) the extent to which faculty should direct students throughout medical training, (2) PBL methods that are less costly, (3) cognitive‐processing weaknesses shown by PBL students, and (4) the apparent high resource utilization by P BL graduates.
