Abstract
This study compared three instruction methods including one teaching centered (TC) and two learner centered: team-based learning (TBL) and service-learning (SL) on student performance, motivation, evaluation of teaching and retention. No significant instruction method differences were noted on student performance, but significant differences existed on motivation, evaluation of teaching and retention. SL students displayed more motivation than TBL students, while retention was highest under TC followed by TBL and SL in that order. Student evaluation of teaching showed that students’ perception of learning was highest under TC, while teaching effectiveness and satisfaction overall, were highest under SL. Possible implications of findings to learners, instructors and college departments are discussed.
