ABSTRACT:

This study aimed to develop and assess the reliability and validity of a Learning and Facilitating Module (PdPc) within the Bachelor of Real Estate Management program at both public and private universities in Malaysia, utilizing the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach grounded in McMaster’s Model (Barrows & Tamblyn, 1980). Most PBL research primarily focuses on implementation and effectiveness, highlighting a considerable gap in studies related to PBL integration in real estate management programs. The research explored two inquiries related to the theoretical framework for module development validity and reliability of its sub-constructs and overall content. The findings revealed significant content validity, achieving an overall score of 82%, in line with Russell’s criteria (1974). Experts largely agreed that problem-solving activities within the module’s scenarios greatly improved students’ understanding of analysis (91.13%), evaluation (93.33%), inference (91%), inductive reasoning (87.51%), and deductive reasoning (87.33%). This module improves pedagogical and learning outcomes by providing educators at public universities teaching Real Estate Management courses through Problem-Based Learning with a new tool. The results offer valuable perspectives for the development of effective instructional materials in this area.
