INTRODUCTION. Team-based learning provides a methodology that has been successfully used in higher education. The methodology facilitates students’ active learning and allows teachers to diversify their teaching practice. METHOD. The article describes an experience in which team-based learning methodology was applied to a large group of students enrolled in a university course and evaluates its effectiveness in supporting both teaching and deep learning. RESULTS. The methodology was shown to foster deep learning insofar as 68% of the students undertook the course adopting a deep learning approach, according to the Study Process Questionnaire applied. The methodology also promoted favourable learning experiences, as evidenced in the results of the general index of the four dimensions used to evaluate the TBL approach (good teaching, clear goals, workload and appropriate evaluation), which gave a score of 74 in an index of 1 to 100. DISCUSSION. The findings are discussed using the presage, process, product (3P) model to measure the effectiveness of the methodology.References
