Subclaims¶

q2 i? Only three studies used mastery learning, requiring on average around 1 h of training, with about 30 min extra if the first assessment was not passed. → Jørgensen Rasmus 2021 q2 i0 Extra training after meeting mastery criteria did not increase success rate (overtraining). → Jørgensen Rasmus 2021 (2)

Evidence¶

Jørgensen Rasmus 2021¶

Jørgensen Rasmus, Laursen Christian B., Konge Lars, Pietersen Pia Iben. (2021). Education in the placement of ultrasound-guided peripheral venous catheters: a systematic review. Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13049-021-00897-z

q2 · i? · review · r3

Review synthesis of the three mastery-learning studies [28, 30, 31]; the review reports mastery learning "did not take up more time, with an average around 1 h" versus non-mastery programs. No effect sizes printed.

"Compared to the studies that did not use mastery learning, mastery learning did not take up more time, with an average around 1 h, with approximate 30 min extra education time, if the first assessment was not passed [28, 30, 31]."

q2 · i0 · quant-synthesis · r2

The review attributes to Kule et al. that "so called overtraining did not increase success rate" after mastery criteria were met; a null finding reported second-hand with no effect size.

"Additionally, Kule et al. showed that so called overtraining did not increase success rate [31]."
