=== Cultural difference: Asia ===
Some of the reported difficulties in implementing PBL in these schools include poor participation and difficulty in getting students involved in discussions, due possibly to their Asian reticence. One school reported that students felt that they were compelled to speak as they were being assessed. Some students reported not having enough confidence to seek information independently without guidance from their teachers. The students also found it very time-consuming to seek information themselves, as they still had to cope with the requirements of the traditional curriculum of attending lectures. Some students had difficulty with the language if the PBL discussions were conducted in English, as it was not their working language.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Amin |first1=Zubair |url=https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/7044 |title=Basics in Medical Education |last2=Eng |first2=Khoo Hoon |publisher=WORLD SCIENTIFIC |year=2009 |isbn=978-981-283-538-3 |edition=2 |language=en |doi=10.1142/7044}}</ref>
