One of the main tasks of a problem-based learning (PBL) tutor is to facilitate group discussion. Group facilitation is about process rather than content. In this process, a tutor helps the group increase their skills and progress in their discussion. Several studies have highlighted strategies and training used in preparing PBL tutors. However, PBL tutors usually feel that it is not that easy to change their teaching style to the PBL format. They are sometimes unsure about their role or what strategy they might use to facilitate their students' discussion. This article in the '12 Tips' series is a detailed description of, and provides answers to, common challenges faced by PBL tutors. The tips provided in this manuscript should help tutors with practical answers. The article may be useful to PBL tutors, medical and health educators and those responsible for PBL training workshops.
基于问题的学习（PBL）导师的主要任务之一是促进小组讨论。小组引导关注的是过程而非内容。在这个过程中，导师帮助小组提高讨论技能并取得进展。多项研究强调了培养PBL导师所采用的策略和培训。然而，PBL导师通常觉得将他们的教学风格转变为PBL形式并非易事。他们有时不确定自己的角色，或者不确定可能使用什么策略来促进学生的讨论。这篇“12个技巧”系列文章详细描述了PBL导师面临的常见挑战并给出了答案。本手稿中提供的技巧应为导师提供切实可行的答案。本文可能对PBL导师、医学和健康教育工作者以及负责PBL培训工作坊的人员有用。
