The study, which was in the form of quasi experimental was conducted in the two phases. Data of the study was collected through a pre & post formative questionnaire, pre-test & post-test to see the level of students’ achievement in learning, while the summative questionnaire was used to see the acceptance level of a student.The study showed that; (i) the effects of PBL+Tonstudents’achievement were positive, where the data showed significant differences between mean scores for pre-test and mean scores for post-test for both phases of the study, (ii) the effectiveness of learning LTMK through PBL+T approach was not affected by gender, and (iii) the students’ acceptance on the learning using PBL+T approach was at a positive level.
