The Relationship between Students’ Success on a Simulation Exercise and Their Perception of Its Effectiveness as a PBL Problem

Abstract

This study explored the relationship between the students’ success with a problem and their perception of its “goodness” as a PBL “problem” in a strategic planning course. This study found no significant relationship between financial performance on a simulation and student perceptions of its ability to achieve the benefits derived from a good PBL problem. Limitations and directions for future research are explored.
