  abstract = {This booklet contains of two parts: Part I, describes the PBL method. First of all the different steps are illustrated, that are needed to work through a problem in order to get a better understanding of the problem. A small paragraph is spend to the small learning group. The self guided learning takes place in libraries, but the gained knowledge and insights must be shared with other students during small group sessions as well. The students recieve feedback on these study results, of other students and the tutor. The role of the tutor is of extreme importance. The role of the tutor is not longer "sage at the stage" but much more "guide by the side". A tutor must help the student to become an independent learner. Becoming an independent learner is a difficult proces, that must be developed step by step. In part I all kind of techniques are discussed to help the tutor to facilitate or strengthen the learning of good study skills. Using these techniques will help the students to enjoy their learning more fully and get better results in their understanding. Since PBL is different from the traditional learning approach, not every health worker is convinced of the benefits of the new method of PBL. Its implementation is rather difficult in courses that were successful in the past. Therefor we highlight some reasons for the conversion to PBL, how to deal with resistance to change and how to help the tutors in their training to become good facilitators. Part II, on Assessment and Evaluation, is not related directly to the PBL method. However, we like to spend paragraphs to these subjects. If Health workers like to use PBL in their courses, these courses must also be effective. Good assessment procedures and evaluation are prerequisites to show that PBL is worthwhile for reaching the goals. We hope trainers will benefit from these chapters in order to get new programmes on their feet and are able to improve the programmes if weaknesses are found.},
