This resource was originally developed with resources from the College STAR grant. That grant has ended and the College STAR modules will now permanently reside at the East Carolina University Office for Faculty Excellence.

Module Introduction

Part of the challenge for engaging students in the learning process requires understanding how and why teaching methods designed to enhance engagement impact student learning.  In this case study, the theoretical context of engagement and practical basis for the implementation of team-based learning (TBL) in a general chemistry course taught by Dr. Rosa Bell at East Carolina University are addressed.  Students’ perceptions of engagement, instructional practices, and learning in the chemistry course are also discussed.

Support for this Module

Original development of this module was made possible by the College STAR (Supporting Transition Access and Retention) initiative.  College STAR was a grant-funded project focused on partnering postsecondary educational professionals and students to learn ways for helping postsecondary campuses become more welcoming of students with learning and attention differences. Much of this work was made possible by generous funding from the Oak Foundation.
