Abstract:
The AMEE Guide No 36 by Taylor and Miflin (2008) provides an excellent resource about the current status of problem-based learning (PBL). The authors discussed the roots of PBL and generated hypotheses about possible causes for the confusion about PBL. They also discussed a number of challenges facing PBL. The guide is worth reading by novice PBL tutors and experienced medical and health educators. In this article, I would like to reflect on some of the challenges facing PBL and provide an insight into practical issues related to these challenges.
