Table 4. Student feedback on the PBL sessions (male group).

PBL: Problem based learning

p value: Probability value. Suggestive significance (p value: 0.05 < p < 0.10). * Moderately significant (p value: 0.01 < p ≤ 0.05). ** Highly significant (p value: p ≤ 0.01).

Student feedback on the PBL sessions	Strongly disagree	p value	Disagree	p value	Agree to some extent	p value	Agree	p value	Strongly agree	p value
	Male (n=55)		Male (n=55)		Male (n=55)		Male (n=55)		Male (n=55)
