Incorporating team-based learning into a fluid mechanics module: first insights

摘要: The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of the use of Team-Based Learning (TBL) methodology in a module of a Fluid Mechanics course, namely fluids´ viscosity. A questionnaire was answered by students, which comprised the degree of satisfaction with various types of teaching methodologies (traditional, TBL, among others). Students’ grades obtained in that module, using TBL methodology, in average, show a positive tendency although not statistically significant when compared with the previous year, when traditional teaching methodology was used. Concerning students’ perceptions, data collected through the questionnaire show that TBL was the least preferred teaching methodology.
