The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the problem-based learning (PBL) on the students’ success in physics
course. 44 second year undergraduate students were randomly assigned to experimental group (20 students) in which problembased
learning was used, and control (24 students) in which conventional teaching method was used. The data were obtained

significant difference between two groups in terms of students total mean scores in favour of PBL group and PBL is affective on
students’ physics achievement.
