ABSTRACT: This article describes the process of elaboration and use of a script in research for social dimension’s analysis in the process of Problem Based Learning (PBL) in a course of health area. It is a descriptive inventory that was constructed based on previous studies and applied to analyze 69 problems or paper cases that trigger the teaching-learning process and their respective tutor guides which drive tutors of the first four medical years of a Brazilian public faculty. Documentary analysis of qualitative approach was carried out from a dense description. The script consisted of nine axes that characterized the profile of the characters and contexts of the problems, being: identification, space, competence area, health surveillance, living conditions (socio-environmental aspects and psychosocial aspects), access to health services, bonding, autonomy and diversities and vulnerabilities. The focus of this article is on the script itself and how it can guide the construction of problems and the detailed analysis of the social dimension in health courses whose curricula are mediated by the PBL.
