outside the classroom were significantly higher than
those of the paticipants of non-PBL.
• Found that the PBL participants’ active English learning
attitudes are significantly related to their reading

a teaching method that engages learners in a series of
planned tasks resulting to the generation of solutions to
real-world problems.
• It is a student-centered approach as it takes into account
the realm of experiences and interest of students.
• This method is based on John Dewey’s principle of
learning by doing and Vygotsky’s constructivist theory of
