INTRODUCTION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The transition from teacher-centered to student-centered learning occurs with the introduction of active learning based on the needs of the students. The majority of effective active learning activities in the classroom were created in small groups using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach. PBL has no worse outcomes in terms of academic performance and is more effective than conventional methods at enhancing social and communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and self-learning abilities, and allows the students to collaborate while integrating science, theory, and practice<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">(Trull\u00e0s et al., 2022; Wiggins et al., 2017).<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">A tutor or a facilitator is a pertinent element for the success of tutorial activities in PBL, thus evaluating periodically their perception and understanding about PBL activities, will help determine the need for resource development at the faculty level. Based on the aforementioned background, the author is intrigued to understand how the faculty at the Undergraduate Faculty of Medicine at Hasanuddin University perceived their role as a tutor during a PBL activity based on the duration they acted as a tutor.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">II. METHODS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Short-case PBL tutorial is the model being implemented in our institution. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods observational prospective design study was carried out from January 2023 to May 2023. Informed consent was obtained from all the participants (<\/span><span lang=\"EN-ID\">ethics approval recommendation number: <\/span><span lang=\"EN-ID\">99\/UN4.6.4.5.31\/PP36\/2022). <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">The study was conducted in three stages (Figure 1): <\/span><span lang=\"EN-ID\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><i><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">A. Stage 1 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Gathering quantitative data via a survey disseminated using Google form, after which the information was analysed using SPSS version 25. The Likert scale, which ranged from 1 (extremely disagree) to 5 (extremely agree), was used to evaluate the 35 items in the questionnaire that served as the study&#8217;s primary data collection tool (Table 1 which is openly available on Figshare). The validity and reliability test for the study&#8217;s questionnaire was carried out as the first step and the Pearson Correlation was used to examine the outcome; all questions were valid with Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1<b>\u00a0<\/b>.951. The next step was to collect data through convenience sampling. Inclusion criteria were lecturers who: have attended training to become PBL tutors, are actively involved in PBL activities, and are willing to participate in the research projects to completion. Exclusion criteria were lecturers who were not familiar with the Google form application. Subjects with other commitments that prevented them from finishing the research activities and with a conflict of interest in continuing the study were considered dropouts. The research participants were split into two groups: the novice group (participants who served as tutors for less than five years) and the expert group (participants who served as tutors for five years or more). The Slovin formula was used to determine the minimum sample size, and the result was 32 people for each group. Characteristics of the study subjects were presented descriptively. An independent t-test was used to compare the faculty\u2019s perception of their role as a tutor during a problem-based learning activity, with\u00a0a <i>p-value<\/i>\u00a0&lt;.05 significant. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><i><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">B. Stage 2 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were held to collect qualitative data. The participants in the FGD were divided into two groups using the identical criteria utilised for the quantitative group categorisation, and each group consisted of six subjects. Each participant received a set of open-ended questions to be discussed during the FGD. All events and discussions were recorded, and then all conversations were transcribed using the VERBATIM app. MAXQDA 2020 was then used to tag and categorise the data. Thematic analysis was used to assess qualitative data. We used an audit trail and triangulation during data collection and conducted a peer review during data analysis to ensure the validity of the qualitative data. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><i><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">C. Stage 3 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Integrating quantitative and qualitative data was performed by linking data, followed by integration at the interpretation and reporting level which was conducted by integration through a narrative with a weaving approach.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">III. RESULTS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><i><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">A. Characteristics of the Subjects <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The subjects in the novice groups were all under 45 years old, but the expert group was predominately made up of older faculty members. Both groups were predominately female. At the time of the research, medical doctors dominated the novice group, but the expert group included people with a range of educational backgrounds. Characteristics of the study subjects are openly available in Table 2 on Figshare.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><i><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">B. Quantitative Data<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Seven question items from four categories significantly differed between the novice and expert groups as shown in Table 3 which is openly available on Figshare.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><i><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">C. Qualitative Data<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Thematic analysis from the FGD revealed that the expert group only has negative perceptions, whereas the novice group has both negative and positive perceptions. The data are openly available in Table 4 on Figshare.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><i><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">D. Integration of Quantitative and Qualitative Data<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Faculty staff has the same perception about almost all concepts about the role of a PBL tutor, except for seven concepts that were statistically significantly different (Figure 1):\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">1) PBL as Pedagogical Method:<\/span><\/i><span lang=\"EN-US\"> Q5 (group tutorials help students share experiences) and Q9 (PBL is a great tool for student learning) were significantly different, with the majority of the novice group agreeing with it while the majority of the expert group were extremely agreeable. Nevertheless, while the novice had a positive perspective shown in the discussion, the expert expressly stated that \u201c(PBL) increased the (student\u2019s) ability to discuss but not the depth of knowledge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i><span lang=\"EN-ID\"><\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">2) Supervising Problem Processing in Tutorial Groups:<\/span><\/i><span lang=\"EN-US\"> Q12 (I function as a resource person in the group) and Q13 (I participate in creating a positive work environment for the group) were significantly different, with most of the novice group agreeing to the concept while the majority of the expert group were extremely agreeable. The novice group stated in the FGD that &#8220;PBL is very effective for building students&#8217; analytical skills because the students can interact with each other to express their opinions and find key problem-solving strategies.&#8221; Both groups had the same perception that some tutors attended the PBL activities &#8220;just as a formality.&#8221; Q17 (<\/span><span lang=\"EN-ID\">I am sensitive to the wishes of the students regarding their need for support)<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> was also significantly different, with most participants in both groups agreeing that tutors are sensitive to the student\u2019s need for support, but 5.71% of the novices extremely disagreed. In contrast, none of the experts in the expert group disagreed with the concept. From the FGD results, the expert group suggested that the &#8220;tutor should give feedback and guidance to the students&#8221;.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-ID\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">3) Potential Barriers to Student Learning in PBL:<\/span><\/i><span lang=\"EN-US\"> the majority of both groups agreed that the group size is just right from a tutorial point of view (Q24), but the novice group had a wide range of responses (from extremely disagree to extremely agree), while 77.14% of the expert group agreed. &#8220;Six to eight students in one PBL group&#8221; is an elaborate suggestion made by the expert group as a result of the FGD.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i><span lang=\"EN-ID\"><\/span><\/i><span lang=\"EN-US\">4) There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding the role of the tutor, which is usually passive in the tutorial group (Q29), with the expert group&#8217;s consensus on the matter being unfavorable, whereas the novice group&#8217;s responses were evenly split between neutral and disagree. The FGD\u2019s results revealed that the novice merely stated, &#8220;If the students had a misleading concept, the tutor could not be kept silent,&#8221; whereas the expert suggested, &#8220;The tutor should be the chairman of the group discussion,&#8221; and &#8220;Questions and keywords must be made by the tutor.&#8221;<\/span><span lang=\"EN-ID\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/taps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/03\/SC3114-Figure-1-1-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" class=\" wp-image-72439 aligncenter\" width=\"785\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/taps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/03\/SC3114-Figure-1-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/taps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/03\/SC3114-Figure-1-1-1024x681.png 1024w, https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/taps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/03\/SC3114-Figure-1-1-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/taps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/03\/SC3114-Figure-1-1-1536x1022.png 1536w, https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/taps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/03\/SC3114-Figure-1-1.png 1884w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Figure 1. Integration of Quantitative and Qualitative Data<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">IV. DISCUSSION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">PBL can be regarded as a multidisciplinary method that allows the learners to resolve real-life problems and situations in every aspect, learn how to construct new information meaningfully, put away the understanding of ready-to-use knowledge, and acquire critical thinking skills. Problem processing or facilitation is a challenging task <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">(Aydogmus &amp; Mutlu, 2019).<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> Since PBL can be used in specific topics and can break up the monotony of traditional didactic teaching, it has become a popular alternative teaching strategy for undergraduate medical students. It can also be used as a method of integrated teaching. Overall, it is a great tool for students learning <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">(Gadicherla et al., 2022).<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The group size is one of the possible obstacles to students&#8217; learning in PBL. All students will not be able to participate in a team that is too big. A team that is too small could not have enough members to address the learning objectives or enough diverse opinions to guarantee a robust discussion. The tutor should be aware of how the participants play their roles, noting those who do not contribute to debates or who are silent. Therefore, they must pay close attention to what is happening in the group process to intervene and provide feedback, promoting the participants&#8217; individual and group progress. The tutor can assist the student in identifying their requirements through motivated evaluations and simple feedback, fostering the growth of self-confidence, autonomy, and, ultimately, integration into group dynamics. PBL teams ideally consist of 6\u201310 students <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">(Dent et al., 2017).<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">V. CONCLUSION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Aside from seven concepts,<b> <\/b>both groups mostly had positive perceptions about their role as tutors,
