Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to investigate the educational effectiveness of applying the PBL method in aviation English courses offered within the aviation service major at domestic universities. A pre-post competency assessment was conducted on 71 students enrolled in the selected aviation English course. The assessment covered five competency areas: communication and interpersonal relationships, higher-order thinking, information and technology utilization, problem-solving skills, and academic self-efficacy. The results of the paired sample t-test indicated that, among the sub-competencies within the five major competencies, there was a significant improvement in ten areas. Particularly, the sub-competency related to academic self-efficacy showed a noticeable improvement through PBL. This suggests that there are challenges remaining for instructors in terms of course design, problem setting, and evaluation methods in the context of PBL learning.
