Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) :	Background: In Team-Based Learning (TBL) method of teaching, students actively participate in the teaching-learning process and are responsible for their learning through pre-class studying and team work with other classmates. Evaluation of the TBL sessions by students would help its better implementation. In this study we developed a valid and reliable tool for assessment of TBL classes. Summary of work: This mixed method cross-sectional study with a Qual-Quan design was conducted on 168 medical students of Tehran University of Medical Sciences in the basic sciences stage of their studies. We asked for students’ satisfaction with this teaching method and its effectiveness, in semi structural in-depth individual interviews until data saturation (12 interviews). We performed content analysis of the interviews and designed the questionnaire. Psychometric characteristics of the questionnaire were assessed in the terms of content validity, test-retest reliability, internal consistency and construct validity through explanatory factor analysis. Summary of results: The final tool was a 29-item questionnaire (reliability =0.87 and Alpha=0.93) with 5 components of “ learning enhancement”, “satisfaction”, “technical aspects”, “teacher capability” and “appropriate testing”. Discussion: The way of implementing TBL sessions has a notable effect on learning quality, so evaluation of these sessions’ outcomes and pros and cons requires the assessment of the learners' experiences and comments in different educational contexts which needs a suitable tool. Conclusions: This tool can be used for the assessment of TBL classes. Take-home messages: Assessing the students’ experiences of TBL method can provide valuable information for improving the learning quality.
