Background:
The study objective was to develop and validate a questionnaire to capture facilitation activities in PBL by the tutor and the group with reference to a theoretical model of teaching quality.
Methods:
We developed 19 items assigned to six factors to evaluate collaborative learning processes in relation to facilitation by the tutor and the student PBL group. We analysed construct and criterion validity in 419 undergraduate medical students in 152 online PBL groups.
Results:
Construct validity was confirmed based on factor dimensionality in line with the theoretical assumptions as well as satisfactory internal reliabilities and intraclass correlation coefficients. Criterion validity was supported by the correlation of a) tutor facilitation activities with the success of group self-facilitation and b) facilitation activities with learning gain and satisfaction in the PBL sessions.
Discussion:
The questionnaire provides a more comprehensive understanding of collaborative learning processes in PBL and the interplay between facilitation activities by the tutor and the group.
