This sequential quantitative and qualitative study was done to assess the perception of faculties towards a hybrid Problem Based Learning (PBL) methodology. To begin with, all faculty members of the department featured in a round of PBL facilitation. Later in phase I, their perception was assessed using a validated self-administered questionnaire. In phase II, personalized interview was conducted with each faculty. Finally phase (III) involved a focus group discussion on issues identified in previous phases. Among the 10 faculties, 9 had good and 1 had average perception about PBL. The various issues brought out by faculty in phase (II) and (III) were; need of formalized training in PBL for facilitators, need of integrated PBL sessions, need of variety of PBL exercises and need of student's assessment for every session.
本序贯性定量与定性研究旨在评估教师对混合式基于问题的学习（PBL）方法的看法。首先，该系所有教师参与了一轮PBL教学活动。在第一阶段后期，使用经过验证的自填式问卷评估他们的看法。在第二阶段，对每位教师进行了个性化访谈。最后，第三阶段进行了焦点小组讨论，讨论前几个阶段发现的问题。在10名教师中，9名对PBL有良好看法，1名看法一般。教师在第二阶段和第三阶段提出的各种问题包括：需要为促进者提供PBL方面的正规培训、需要整合PBL课程、需要多种PBL练习以及需要对每节课进行学生评估。
