Abstract:

This study aimed to develop and assess the validity and reliability of a Learning and Facilitating Module (PdPc) by integrating the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach based on McMaster's Model (Barrows & Tamblyn, 1980) within the Bachelor of Property Management program at public and private universities in Malaysia. Most PBL research primarily focuses on implementation and effectiveness, with a notable gap in studies addressing PBL integration in Land Valuation, Management, and Real Estate Agent curricula. The study posed three research questions related to the theoretical framework for module construction, as well as the validity and reliability of its sub-constructs and overall content. Findings indicated a high content validity, achieving an overall score of 82%, based on Russell's criteria (1974). Experts largely agreed that problem-solving activities within the module's scenarios effectively facilitated students' understanding of analysis (91.13%), evaluation (93.33%), inference (91%), inductive reasoning (87.51%), and deductive reasoning (87.33%). This module represents an innovative tool for lecturers at public universities offering Real Estate Management courses through PBL, enhancing teaching and learning outcomes. The findings contribute valuable insights to the implementation of effective teaching materials in this field.
