Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of computer supported problem based
learning on students’ approaches to learning. The research was conducted as a pre-test and posttest
one-grouped design used to achieve the objectives of the study. The experimental process of
study lasted 5 weeks and was carried out on 78 university students. The Scale of Approaches to
Learning was used as the data collection instrument, which was developed by researcher. The
collected data were analyzed by paired simple t-test. According to the results, it can be stated that
problem based learning has a significant effect on adopting a predominantly deep approach to
learning by students.
