A method which we call ”Flying A Kite Approach” to PBL was tested on second year medical students (third Semester) at the International Medical University. This method channels students into thinking of alternative causes of a clinical presentation and prepares medical students in the way they would be functioning in their professional lives. A pre-tested anonymous questionnaire addressing students' perception of PBL, characteristics of a ”good” facilitator, and students' rating of the new approach against the usual ”one diagnosis” or ”Bull's eye” approach was distributed to 53 students in four PBL groups. Forty six were returned. The ”Flying A Kite” approach scored higher than the other the positive aspects and lower on the negative facets. The approach appears to be well-received.
