ABSTRACT
In this study, various researches between the years 2015-2021 were examined and the effectiveness of the online problem-based learning approach on success, attitude, motivation, and group dynamics were examined. A systematic literature review method was used to determine the effects of online PBL approach applications on students' academic success, motivation, attitude, and group dynamics. Articles were obtained from Taylor & Francis Online, SpringerLink, and WileyOnlineLibrary databases and scanned in “SCI”, “SCI-E”, “SSCI”, and “Scopus” indexes. The search terms used within the scope of the research were determined as follows; "problem-based learning", "PBL", "e-PBL", "distance education", "online education", "web-based learning", "technology", "success", "attitude", "motivation", "group dynamics”. Results show that the online problem-based learning approach had a positive effect on group interaction, has a positive effect on student success, and students have a positive attitude towards the online problem-based learning approach.
