Based on the stages of R & D, the findings can be explained as follows. Firstly, based on the study of the concept of the PBL model, five stages as proposed by Glickman were implemented, namely: 1) pre-conference with the lecturer; 2) classroom observations; 3) the analysis and interpretation of the observation results and set up the conference approach; 4) meetings after observation; and 5) evaluating the four stages.
