TL;DR
A significant difference was found between PBL and traditional lecture groups with a more positive learning attitude and higher learning motivation in the PBL group (NCT00747188).
Abstract
The present study aimed to compare the effect of education through problem-based learning (PBL) or lectures on behavior, attitude and learning of nursing students. A total of 40 second-year nursing students participated: 20 students in the PBL group and 20 students in the traditional lecture (control) group. The students underwent a one-semester course using the two methods of education. The level of knowledge in the PBL group was significantly higher than that of students in the lecture group. In addition, a significant difference was found between the PBL and lecture groups in the level of attitude toward learning. The present study suggests a significant difference between PBL and traditional lecture groups with a more positive learning attitude and higher learning motivation in the PBL group (NCT00747188).

It is recommended that caution be exercised in making comprehensive, curriculum‐wide conversions to PBL until more is learned about (1) the extent to which faculty should direct students throughout medical training, (2) PBL methods that are less costly, (3) cognitive‐processing weaknesses shown by PBL students, and (4) the apparent high resource utilization by P BL graduates.

Four possible methods of improving PBL would be to derive national and internationally accepted PBL curricula; to organize internationally accepted and psychometrically validated methods of evaluation; to develop attitudes among students and tutors to facilitate co‐operative PBL teamwork; and to teach group process diagnostic skills.
