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.
q3 i? Across 27 RCTs, PBL-based intervention groups scored significantly higher on total scores (knowledge, skill and practical skills combined) than LBL groups (WMD = 8.70). → Li Tingting 2022
Evidence¶
Li Tingting 2022¶
Li Tingting, Wang Weidong, Li Zhijie, Wang Hongmiao, Liu Xiaodan. (2022). Problem-based or lecture-based learning, old topic in the new field: a meta-analysis on the effects of PBL teaching method in Chinese standardized residency training. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-022-03254-5
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Meta-analysis of 27 publications involving 1542 residents (intervention 770, LBL 772) reporting total scores; random-effects model due to high heterogeneity (I2 = 97%); the pooled estimate favored "the intervention group compared to the LBL group".
"The pooled effect size showed a significant difference in the total score (WMD = 8.70, 95% CI: 6.87–10.53, P < 0.0001) in favor of the intervention group compared to the LBL group"
