Teachers applied task-based learning and Team-based learning methods in the course of ethnic medicine. Teaching contents were classified according to relations of different herbs and quantity of herbs in each chapter. 7-9 students formed a learning group which was also called team. Learning groups prepared lessons before class

debated on different tasks such as herb identification and treatment prescription of clinical cases in class

and drew a conclusion after debates. Learning groups expounded their viewpoints and debated with other learning groups about different views. Teachers recorded and commented on viewpoints from each learning group. After class

through a ques-tionnaire

teachers understood the students' feedback to the whole teaching process

and the effect of application of task driven and cooperative team learning got students' recognition. In the future

we will make some improvement by increasing the classroom comment

improving the preparation before class

increasing the efficiency of learning group presentation and debate time

enriching teachers' academic knowledge and improving their teaching skills.
