This action research investigates the integration of gamification into the traditional Team-Based Learning (TBL) model, specifically through the Quiz-Based Team Learning (QTL) approach, for teaching medical ethics and law. It aims to assess the impact of QTL on student learning outcomes in this subject area. Employing a quantitative survey methodology, data were collected from participants through a structured instrument. The research was conducted during a tutorial session involving 50 third-year medical students at one of the public universities in Malaysia, with a focus on the topic of medical negligence under the Ethics and Medical Jurisprudence module. Due to the voluntary nature of participation, only 14 students took part in the study. Results indicate that 71.4% (10 out of 14) of respondents strongly agreed that the QTL approach positively influenced their understanding of legal concepts in medical education. Furthermore, when comparing the results of the quiz taken at the start and at the end of the tutorial, there was a marked increase in results in the latter. Despite the low response rate, these findings suggest that QTL holds promise for enhancing student engagement, teamwork, fostering critical thinking, and improving comprehension of medical ethics and law. The implications of this study extend to the potential enhancement of pedagogical practices in medical education, particularly within the realm of ethics and medical jurisprudence.
