Problem-based learning (PBL) is an active learning method that allows for students to self-identify their learning needs and work together in small groups to achieve their learning objectives. These small groups are facilitated by a tutor. The tutor has a vital role to the student experience in PBL that is explored in this article.
This reflection uses my personal experience in PBL with two roles: student and tutor. In my fourth-year of pharmacy school I was a student in PBL for the final pharmacotherapeutic course. After graduation and licensure, I returned to pharmacy school for graduate work and became a tutor for the same course I had taken a year ago.
Having experienced both sides of PBL, I was able to understand the importance of what happened in my time as a student and how it was shaped by my tutor. Using the past as a guide, I improved the learning experience by being the tutor I wish I could have had as a student.
Tutors are a crucial element to the success of PBL and their role should not be overlooked. Pharmacy programs looking to implement PBL in their curriculum should pay attention to these skills that tutors should exemplify.
PBL can have a rewarding impact on students and tutors. It is imperative that all tutors have these appropriate skills and care for the needs of their group in order to make PBL a great learning experience for all students.
基于问题的学习（PBL）是一种主动学习方法，允许学生自我识别学习需求，并在小组中共同努力实现学习目标。这些小组由导师协助。导师在 PBL 学生体验中起着至关重要的作用，本文对此进行了探讨。
本反思使用了我在 PBL 中的个人经验，担任两个角色：学生和导师。在我药学专业四年级的最后一门治疗课程中，我是 PBL 的学生。毕业后获得执照后，我回到药学专业攻读研究生，并成为我一年前上过的同一门课程的导师。
我体验过 PBL 的两面，因此能够理解我作为学生时所经历的重要性，以及它是如何被我的导师塑造的。我利用过去作为指导，通过成为我希望自己作为学生时能拥有的导师，来提高学习体验。
导师是 PBL 成功的关键因素，他们的角色不容忽视。希望在课程中实施 PBL 的药学项目应注意导师应具备的这些技能。
PBL 可以对学生和导师产生有益的影响。所有导师都必须具备这些适当的技能，并关心小组的需求，才能使 PBL 成为所有学生的绝佳学习体验。
