Hypothesis
If the approval of Sec 3 EFL is due to :
 budget being low enough, then reducing
the cost of the program
 high risk factor, then reducing the risk
factor
 little amount of learning issues, then
proving that there are more learning
issues than stated,
such that it meets the school’s constrains
will result in it being approved.
Preparations
•
How did we prepare ourselves for PBL
- Classroom Discussions : Analysed the problem and
created our hypothesis
- Dividing our work amongst ourselves.
- Wrote down what we need to find out from EFL
- During EFL : Review of the things we learnt everyday
during EFL ( E.g Safety equipments used )
Link the information to the hypothesis
SOLVE THE PROBLEM !
Process (Cost)

-
How did we go about finding our information?
Held discussions
Tried to find information via Internet
DEBATES
We tried to find out the exact prices of
the activities on the internet to no avail.
-
Interviewed Mr. Francis
Called the Tanjong Pagar train station
Forming a solution,
FAST !
Having a
discussion
Process ( Risk Factor )
 How
did we form a solution?
-
During EFL : Took note of the various
safety measures taken by the trainers
( E.g different instructions given )
-
We tried to notice if anybody was
injured during EFL
-
After EFL :
Re-cap of EFL activities
We listed down the
safety equipment
that was used (E.g
Carabiner, Harness )
We also listed down the
possible areas where
danger could arise
ON OUR WAY TO SOLVING THE PROBLEM !
Process (Learning Issues)

How did we form a solution?

After EFL :
Reviewed all activities
Try to relate what we
did during EFL to class
work.
* Used EFL booklet as reference
Held discussions ;
list down what we

Solution (Cost)
2. Prove that the money that was spent on Sec 3
EFL was well-spent.
1. Food provided was good.
Different varieties of dishes everyday.
Balanced diet
Sufficient amount of food for everyone
2. Good facilities.
Proper Beds
Electric fans available for use
Proper toilet facilities
3. Activities carried out were good.
We learnt different values from the different activities.
We are able to relate classroom work to reality.
A whole new experience
Solution (Cost - Comparison)
What is it
about?
Our choice?
Why?
Solution 1
Solution 2
To reduce the overall budget by
removing canopy walk, and by
changing the location of the Sec 2 EFL
to Kota Tinggi.
To prove to the school
management that the
money spent on Sec 3 EFL
is well-spent
ADOPT
It can reduce the overall budget by
about $30,000. Thus, it meets the MOF’s
requirements, while maintaining the
standard of living at the Tekam
plantation, as well as the activities.
It does not really solve the
problem of the high cost
which exceeds the
budget.
It is does not help reduce
the overall budget to
meet MOF’s requirement
and meeting the budget is
the most important thing
to solve the problem.
Solution ( Risk Factor )

Suggestions on how we can ensure that the
EFL’s risk factor is reduced.
1. How we can make each activity less dangerous.
-
-
Rafting
The life jackets should be in good conditions
Trainers should check to see if we are wearing the life jacket properly.
Abseiling
They should provide us with thicker gloves
An additional rope can be attached to another trainer
The equipment used should be checked regularly
Caving
Gloves should be provided
