Subclaims¶

q2 i3 Subgroups of flipped classrooms with a quiz at the start of class (SMD = 3.91), patient case discussion in-class (SMD = 2.14), and short recorded pre-class videos under 18 minutes (SMD = 0.63) each showed advantages over traditional approaches. → Cui He 2023

Subgroup meta-analyses of flipped-classroom design features (Table 3 and text). Printed effect sizes: quiz at start of class SMD = 3.91 (3.66,4.16, 9 groups); patient case discussion SMD = 2.14 (2.02,2.27, 18 groups); short videos under 18 min SMD = 0.63 (0.37,0.88, 6 groups). These are observational subgroup contrasts, not randomized feature tests.

"The subgroup of “availability of quiz at the start of class”, incorporating 9 comparing groups, showed an advantage for flipped classroom (SMD 3.91, 95%CI 3.66, 4.16)."
