The cost-analysis of Team-Based Learning versus small group interactive learning in undergraduate medical education

TBL was more costly than SIL in our setting, primarily due to the implementation expenses incurred for faculty training during the initial phase of this newly introduced teaching method and the costs of using an electronic platform. However, the sensitivity analysis indicated that adopting analog tools and increasing the student: teacher ratio could significantly reduce TBL costs, making it more comparable to SIL.

Abstract

TBL was more costly than SIL in our setting, primarily due to the implementation expenses incurred for faculty training during the initial phase of this newly introduced teaching method and the costs of using an electronic platform. However, the sensitivity analysis indicated that adopting analog tools and increasing the student: teacher ratio could significantly reduce TBL costs, making it more comparable to SIL.
