Abstract EN
Background: Team-based Learning (TBL) is a teaching approach that fosters active learning and promotes the application of knowledge; its implementation remains sporadic and on a volunteering basis in Sudan.
The aim of this study was to investigate the perception of Sudanese physiologist concerning the implementation of TBL.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included all physiologists in Sudan during 2018.
Data were collected using qualitative and quantitative methods, namely, questionnaire and nominal group technique (NGT), respectively.
Results: This study was the first national-scale study on TBL in Sudan, the study adds to the evidence of the benefits of TBL: improving the engagement of students, enhancing deep learning, and providing better instructor–student interaction.
Furthermore, TBL was perceived to be of good use in tutorials.
However, although TBL is perceived well by instructors, its implementation revealed two main challenges: first, the attendance of the students (and therefore their engagement) is a place of concern mostly because TBL is not well-allocated in the curricula of most medical schools and second, the substantial effort of preparation of TBL material and sessions will put a burden on the staff, rendering them less enthusiastic.
Conclusion: Fostering TBL requires administrative support and training to the staff, as well as proper incorporation of TBL in the curriculum.
