Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) in teaching cryptocurrency investments at the Lambung Mangkurat University. Quantitative descriptive methods were used with samples of students who had taken capital-market courses. Data were collected using questionnaires to measure changes in students’ PBL knowledge and perceptions. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including a one-sample test, were used for the data analysis. The results showed that students' perceptions of PBL were generally positive, with the PPBL and EPBL indicators corresponding to the expected average, whereas PPP indicators were higher than expected. This study provides insights into the adoption of PBL in cryptocurrency investment education and curriculum development. In practice, this study emphasizes the importance of PBL evaluation and optimization to maximize learning outcomes. The novelty of this research is an early exploration of the application of PBL in cryptocurrency investment, contributing to PBL theory and modern financial education.
