Subclaims¶

q2 i? In the PBL+LBL vs LBL subgroup, the combined model did not produce a significantly higher course examination passing rate than the traditional teaching model (RR = 1.09, 95% CI 1.00–1.20). → Zhang Yanqi 2015

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Subgroup meta-analysis of pass rates for the PBL+LBL vs LBL comparison (6 studies), using a random effects model after high heterogeneity (I2 = 94%, P<0.001). The confidence interval includes 1.0, indicating no statistically significant difference.

"The analytical results reveal that the PBL+LBL model did not produce a significantly higher course examination passing rate than the traditional teaching model [RR: 1.09, 95% CI: (1.00, 1.20)]"
