Popis: This paper introduces an action research project conducted at the Hirao School of Management during the 2020 Fall semester that was aimed at exploring the benefits and challenges to implementing a team-based learning (TBL) approach in larger classes at university in Japan. The participants in this study were a group of fifty-six students enrolled in an elective culture-focused course taught by the author. This report starts with some contextual background and goes on to outline the mixed-methods research design before offering a week-by-week overview of how each class meeting unfolded. Preliminary findings and discussion are then provided to highlight key issues related to using TBL in this context. It is hoped that this research might further inspire others to experiment with TBL and other active learning approaches.
