Background: There has long been an interest in Team-Based Learning (TBL) method, an active learning method. The present study
aims to demonstrate TBL's contribution to learning experiences of students participating in the “Nursing Leadership Course” in
which the TBL method is used.
Methods: This study designed as participatory action research was conducted in two cycles. The study comprised 57 students who
participated in the nursing leadership course. In each TBL cycle, a 100 minute class was held. In the first cycle, four and in the second
cycle, seven topics were addressed. The data were collected through observation and focus group studies with open-ended questions.
Results: The students reported that in both cycles, TBL created rich and entertaining learning environment and promoted deep
learning and active participation in the course. However, they also reported that the peer assessment section of the course stressed
them out and thus they did not want to use it as an assessment technique. Student orientation and selection of material to be provided
for pre-class preparation were determined to have critical importance in a course taught with TBL. It was also determined that team
development activities and case studies performed in the second cycle greatly contributed to team development and learning.
Conclusion: If the aim is to create a learning environment that fosters positive learning experience for students, proper planning, and
implementation and when necessary, modification 2 of each process is important in courses taught with TBL. Here, the instructor
who designs the course plays a critical role.
