Guo Qian 2024¶

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Narrative synthesis of six studies (Studies 1, 8, 12, 13, 14, 23) examining PBL effects on learner behaviour, including quasi-experimental and mixed-method designs. The review reports "beneficial outcomes in terms of enhancing student engagement, motivation, and active involvement".

"Through diverse inquiries, PBL approaches consistently showcased beneficial outcomes in terms of enhancing student engagement, motivation, and active involvement in the learning process."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The review finds flipped learning, PBL, gamification, and collaborative learning adapted to digital environments produced positive effects on motivation, participation, and transversal competences — a broader claim this one bears on
• PBL and flipped classrooms frequently show better post-test performance and knowledge retention than traditional methods — related
• The scope of PBL implementation shaped discussion quality: hybrid lecture-based implementation reduced uncertainty but yielded less critical discussion than full PBL — related
