Popis: More and more university programs try to establish an understanding of research methodology with relevant courses at undergraduate schools. Engineer students should have adequate academic training and experience to gain knowledge on such research content, should be able to thrive in research, to source valid and credible information by sorting out the best solution of a problem. Due to their complexity, these courses are usually unpopular with students. To this end, we propose an educational well-designed conceptual framework based on PBL and SRL, as an orchestrated educational scenario with the design, the development and the evaluation of the learning process, customized on Moodle for engineer students to motivate them in the field of scientific research. The analysis of the results reveals that our proprosed scenario fosters motivation, equips students with learning strategies, supports them to understand and apply the principles of PBL method as they acquire concepts of research methodology.
