Summary/Abstract: With so many teaching strategies available today that enhance students' learning, it might be difficult to decide which one to implement in electronics laboratories at a faculty. Is the most effective method still the straightforward, traditional, team-based work, or are the new methods—flipped classroom, role play, gamification, etc.—suitable for students? Do students perform better working individually or in a team of people that share the same interests? The participants of this study are second-year students who worked either in free-chosen teams of two to three people or in pre-established teams of three to four people in the medical electronics laboratories of the Faculty of Medical Engineering over the course of a year. The goal of this paper is to answer these questions regarding the optimal teaching and learning strategy for university students by using a form with different questions about their perspective on teamwork.
