| Ringkasan: | Problem-based learning (PBL) is an educational
method which students act as an active learners guided by
facilitator. They learn through problem solving in small groups
and reflecting on their experiences. This study aims to examine
engineering students’ perceptions on PBL physics in Universiti
Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, UTHM. The study was conducted on
145 engineering students taking Physics 2 subject in second
semester session 2007/2008. They were divided into small groups
consisting 5 members in each groups. Data was collected via
students’ self-reflection on written questionnaire at the end of
PBL session. The findings reveal that students’ obtains excellent
experiences and benefits from PBL physics. It also appears that
at the end of PBL session students’ were successfully generates
soft-skills such as self-directed learning, teamwork, leadership
and good presentation skills. |
