Abstract: The theme of this thesis is the tutor in problem-based learning (PBL). Specifically, the \nobjective of the five studies presented is to gain an understanding of what shapes tutors as \nfacilitators of student learning; their beliefs about teaching, their educational intentions and goals \nas well as the actions they display and the strategies they adopt when in the PBL classroom. It \nalso traces their development over time to determine whether they change or remain the same \nand whether they become more or less aligned to the philosophy and methodology of PBL. The \nrole of the tutor is examined from the perspective of their students, their peers and the tutors \nthemselves.
