Focus groups are extensively used in education research38 to understand participants' perceptions, views and the processes underlying them. Focus groups can explain both what participants think and why they think as they do. Participating individuals are encouraged to react to one another's opinions and form new ideas from varied perspectives. All the students who underwent TskBL were invited to participate in focus group discussion. A reminder was sent after one week. The students who responded were assigned to focus groups according to availability. Each focus group discussion was scheduled for one hour duration. It consisted of 5-7 students. The discussion was guided and facilitated by a moderator who was familiar with the concerned modules and was an experienced moderator of focus groups.
