Abstract

In Political Science studies, the traditional class and individual work predominate over other methods. However, the implementation of the Bologna system implies a more autonomous work of the students including individual and group work into the calculation of the credit value. This is a new challenge for the lecturer. Against this background, this study has applied a new methodology called Team-Based Learning (TBL) to a group of 100 political science students and has compared results to other teaching methods, namely weekly practice, semester essay and Problem-Based Learning to analyze to what extent TBL improves the learning capacity of students, their group work, leadership ability and ability to solve problems. Results indicate that the perfect method doesn’t exist, that the TBL is more efficient than other traditional methodologies, and that the best strategy should be to mixed all methods through all the academic years.
