Description
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a way to help students to think and make use of suitable information to solve their problem. However, direct import of the typical PBL model may not be appropriate to local student. This study focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of previous PBL model used and studying the effect of modified PBL model in a Higher Diploma engineering course in the HKIVE(TY). This modified PBL model uses a variety of teaching and learning modes to facilitate students to solve the real world cases. Promising results gathered from summative test and student interview show that this local context PBL model is suitable to all students.
