abstract: This action research examines the online Problem based learning (PBL) designed for one of the courses in the Bachelor of
Project and Facility Management offered at Open University Malaysia. The main aim of this study was to explore the
constraints of implementing PBL and to look for possible interventions during class tutorial sessions. Within the
constraints of students’ attendance and the limitation of time, this project was conducted and monitored using the action
research methodology. The participants were students who attended the Facilities, Planning and Design course and they
were divided into two groups consisting of five members in each group. Observations and reflections from the students and
facilitator were recorded for ten weeks. At the end of the research, the facilitator developed the guidelines to introduce and
conduct the PBL environment for this particular course. (Abstract by authors)
