Project-based learning (PBL) has been introduced at many educational institutions and had a considerable effect on human resource development. However, researchers have pointed out that PBL performance can be diminished by a lack of basic management skills among participants or a general sense among them that they are simply being told what to do. We anticipate that PBL performance can be improved by identifying meta-competencies capable of being developed by PBL and introducing praise to the PBL process. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of praise within PBL by means of structural equation modeling. Our results suggest that the satisfaction of PBL participants can be increased by identifying developable meta-competencies and applying a praise model under the MEH model.
