PBL triggers in relation to students’ generated learning issues and predetermined faculty objectives: Study in a Malaysian public university

Objectives: Foundational elements of problem based learning (PBL) are triggers, tutors and students. Ineffective triggers are important issues for students’ inability to generate appropriate learning issues. The objective of this study was to evaluate PBL triggers and to determine similarities of...
