Subclaims¶
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.
q4 i? PBL, PjBL, and CBL had statistically similar effects on overall motivation (F(2, 285) = 0.61, p = 0.546). → Wijnia 2024

q4 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?
Moderator analysis of instructional method type in the three-level and CHE models across 139 subsamples. The analysis found PBL, PjBL, and CBL "had similar effects on students' motivation, F(2, 285) = 0.61, p = 0.546". Table 4 shows combined d values of 0.453 (PBL), 0.615 (PjBL), and 0.473 (CBL).
"Our analyses indicated that PBL, PjBL, and CBL had similar effects on students' motivation, F(2, 285) = 0.61, p = 0.546."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Student-centered, problem-driven learning has a small, positive, heterogeneous effect on students' motivation compared to teacher-centered instruction (d = 0.498) — a broader claim this one bears on
- Creating products as part of problem-driven learning does not change its effect on motivation — related
- Problem-driven learning shows significantly smaller effects on students' reasons for studying than on other motivation constructs — related
