  ABSTRACT: Problem Based Learning (PBL) has been adopted as a student-centred approach in many educational settings. This research study implemented PBL in the Liberal Studies (LS) curriculum in one secondary school in HK to examine its impact on student engagement. The study used a mixed-methods approach, gathering data through interviews, focus groups, field notes, and questionnaires. The findings demonstrate that PBL enhances student engagement and Self-Directed Learning compared to those in Traditional Teaching Methods. However, the study also highlighted that students’ engagement can also be influenced by individual personality traits, allowing for active involvement through passive participation.
