Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q3 i2 Pooled analysis of 6 studies (n = 815) shows modern teaching methods significantly improve self-directed learning (SMD = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.43–0.71). → Zou Ya 2026

q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r3

Fixed-effects meta-analysis of 6 studies involving 815 nursing students, with low heterogeneity ("I2 = 24%"). Pooled "SMD = 0.57" favors modern teaching methods over controls.

"The meta-analysis demonstrated that modern teaching methods significantly improved students’ self-directed learning ability (SMD = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.43–0.71, I2 = 24%, P < 0.001)"
