Results showed that most of the students were agreed for this type of instructional strategy as it enriched their knowledge and find relevant for the subject Physiology. There was overall increase in marks obtained in examination. Conclusion: TBL was well accepted with 2 modules in Physiology promoting self-directed learning.
