Universities have been endeavoring to integrate students' professional learning and employability. Trust professional licenses are required for employees in the financial industry. The author has observed problems encountered by students in the trust laws courses the author has hosted in the past years. To mitigate these problems and improve students' learning outcomes, this study employed problem-based learning (PBL) and animated textbooks in trust courses to examine changes in students' learning performance. A quasi-experimental approach was adopted to investigate the effect of PBL and animated textbooks on students' learning outcomes, attitudes, and motivations. The effect of PBL on students' learning outcomes and attitudes was compared between two classes from the 2018 academic year, and the effect of animated textbooks on students' learning outcomes and motivations was compared between two classes from the 2017 and 2018 academic years. The results revealed that PBL significantly outperformed the conventional teaching method in raising students' learning outcomes and attitudes. The conventional teaching method enriched with animated textbooks also significantly outperformed the pure conventional teaching method in improving students' learning outcomes and motivations. However, although the combination of animated textbooks and conventional teaching methods considerably improved students' knowledge of trust laws and their professional competency, no significant effect was observed in the conversion of this understanding into professional competency. |
