Chng, Esther; Yew, Elaine H. J.; Schmidt, Henk G. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2015
The purpose of this study was to investigate how tutor behaviours influence learning in problem-based learning (PBL). A previous study had indicated a significant influence of the tutor's social congruent behaviour on the PBL process and this study further investigates this finding by examining two groups of tutors displaying differences in…

Lee, Ming; Wimmers, Paul F. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2016
Although problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely used in medical schools, few studies have attended to the assessment of PBL processes using validated instruments. This study examined reliability and validity for an instrument assessing PBL performance in four domains: Problem Solving, Use of Information, Group Process, and Professionalism.…

Schauber, Stefan K.; Hecht, Martin; Nouns, Zineb M.; Kuhlmey, Adelheid; Dettmer, Susanne – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2015
In medical education, the effect of the educational environment on student achievement has primarily been investigated in comparisons between traditional and problem-based learning (PBL) curricula. As many of these studies have reached no clear conclusions on the superiority of the PBL approach, the effect of curricular reform on student…

Dolmans, Diana H. J. M.; Wolfhagen, Ineke H. A. P. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2005
Aim: Tutor performance and tutorial group productivity interact with each other in a complex manner. The aim of this study was to investigate how tutor performance, tutorial group productivity and the effectiveness of a PBL unit interact with each other. Three hypotheses were tested: (1) Does the tutor performance score differ across different…
