Abstract

Introduction: Problem-solving based learning is a student-centered learning and teaching method that, if students participate, leads to deeper learning of the content of basic sciences and clinical sciences in a field, learning and improving skills such as clinical reasoning, teamwork, problem-solving, critical thinking, lifelong learning, leadership and communication, and social skills. Since the basis of learning based on problem-solving is the student, during education, the professor plays an indirect role, which is different from the usual role of professors, and this in some cases leads to challenges in the implementation of learning based on problem-solving. In this article, an attempt will be made to address the various aspects of the expectations of the professor as a facilitator during the implementation of the problem-solving-based learning method.
