Team-Based Learning Effectiveness dataset.

BackgroundTeam-Based Learning (TBL) is a student-centered teaching strategy designed to improve problem-solving skills, knowledge, and practical abilities. Despite its increasing use in nursing education globally, limited research has explored its effectiveness in Vietnam. This study evaluates the impact of TBL on learning outcomes, accountability, preferences, satisfaction, engagement, perceptions, and attitudes of Vietnamese nursing students during the Nursing Care for Adults with Internal Medicine course.MethodsA quasi-experimental pre-post study was conducted with 186 fourth-year nursing students at a nursing faculty in Vietnam during the 2023–2024 academic year. TBL was implemented in the course, and data were collected using validated instruments, including the Individual Readiness Assurance Test (i-RAT), Team Readiness Assurance Test (t-RAT), Classroom Engagement Survey (CES), and Perceived Collective Efficacy (PCE) scale. Data were collected from January to April 2024 and analyzed using SPSS version 20.0.ResultsThe mean t-RAT scores significantly exceeded i-RAT scores, increasing from 8.17 to 9.68 (t = -19.507, p ConclusionsTBL effectively enhances academic performance, teamwork attitudes, and group responsibility awareness among Vietnamese nursing students. This approach holds promise for improving nursing education in Vietnam, and educators are encouraged to expand its application to other universities and disciplines.
