Introduction
The Ministry of Education had to improve the quality of professionalism on the
polytechnic education and adopted several critical strategies to make the colleges hire more and
more technological industry experts so that the students would find it easier to meet the demands
for vocational training and polytechnic education (Loyens et al. 2015). There was a lack of skill
found in the students after the advanced form of educational techniques were applied to the new
and improved learning systems. These were made to instigate the skills of students in complex
problem solving methods.
Therefore, based on the above topic, several peer reviewed literatures, like journals and
research papers would be put forward to make a further review on them (Davidson and Major
2014). This would be done by reviewing the literatures on the basis of a comparative study on
the conceptual frameworks as well as the theoretical frameworks used for the conducted study.
Following would be a detailed critical analysis created for the outputs that has been provided in
the literature on the basis of the findings described in the journal articles. This will provide a
clear idea about the complete state of affairs that made the students in Sydney to make use of
problem based learning in their post-graduation degrees and how these studies would benefit
them in the latter halves of their lives.
Comparative Study of the Literature
After thorough study of the literatures reviewed in this regard, it can be easily said that
Sydney had incorporated the use of practical study and academic and industrial collaboration
with the industries with the sole purpose of coping up to the situation about the financial crisis in
the later times (Davidson, Major and Michaelsen 2014). The studies have put the facts forwards

that in previous times where the industry had been before the situation of financial turmoil, the
educational system had been under constant situation where the trained students were found to
have inadequate preparation after their study in school and it was also found that the students
often failed to meet the needs in technical learning, especially in the fields of proper learning of
management where in the industrial trainings their skills and knowledge feel short to meet the
needs of their major in specific classes (Dolmans et al. 2015).
In another literature, it was found that the authors have based the entire study regarding
this topic on the pretext of the basic knowledge of students on Project Management and the
methods by which they are acquired by the students through their management practitioners in
their graduation degrees. As for example, it can be said that Methods Quasi-experimental
study along with pre-test and post-test design in control and experimental form a group to
determine the differences in the improvement of argumentative and declarative knowledge (Glen
2017). The authors have faced questions randomly through the research facing various facts like
the proper teaching methods and the practical approach of the education towards the advanced
project management levels in the study of master degrees (Savery 2015). This paper also puts
forward the facts where the students have also displayed their personal interest in the learning
process of management studies where they have stated that the advanced course in problem
based learning in their post-graduation degrees were nothing new as per the lectures and the only
difference they found was in the utilization of common sense. They have also stated that the
utility of common sense was frequent in almost all the course of industrial management.
One of the journal articles focused on the identification and synthesis of the evidences
found on the application of PBL designed techniques based on the nursing students. For this
purpose, the major education design techniques of JBI SUMARI was analysed to make sure that
