    The aim o f this study is to produce a Module Framework o f C Language Model Integration Approach using Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Competency Based Education (CBE). The result o f the preliminary study showed that Function is the most difficult topic to be mastered because of students’ weakness in problem solving skills. It is due to the conventional learning method and learning module that are currently practiced. This QUAL-quan study approach involves different groups of samples which consist of students, teachers, PBL experts and CBE experts. The research instruments include questionnaires, achievement tests, interviews and observation checklist. Qualitative data were analyzed using NVivo 8.0, while the quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS package version 16.0. This study identifies the elements o f PBL and CBE in developing a Module Framework o f C Language; and the new elements that have been identified include user guide, module, lesson plans, learning objectives, theory, training and activities, a glossary and reference materials.

The results of interviews showed positive responses from the students. The findings on students’ perception toward the developed modules in helping them to achieve also showed a high mean score (4.00). In conclusion, the usage of C Language Module which is based on the developed Module Framework showed a positive feedback from students. Therefore, teachers are highly encouraged to use the Module Framework to design PBL and CBE embedded module to improve problem solving skills among students
