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 i3 Across 4 RCTs, there was less learning time in PBL teaching than in traditional teaching (OR=0.12). → Li Ting 2024 q3 i3 Across 4 RCTs, learning pressure was higher in the PBL teaching group than in the traditional teaching group (OR=5.95). → Li Ting 2024 (2)

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analysis of 4 RCTs (N=200), fixed effects model, no heterogeneity (I2 =0%). Pooled odds ratio OR=0.12 (95% CI: 0.06~0.024 as printed, P<0.00001), indicating less learning time in PBL.

"A total of 4 [19, 26, 31, 59] studies (N=200) reported learning time. There was no significant heterogeneity (P=0.64, I2 =0%); therefore, a fixed effects model was used. We found that there was less learning time in PBL teaching than in traditional teaching (OR=0.12, 95% CI: 0.06~0.024, P<0.00001; Fig. 10)."

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-analysis of 4 RCTs (N=200), fixed effects model, low heterogeneity (I2 =18%). Pooled odds ratio OR=5.95 (95% CI: 3.16~11.23, P<0.00001), a large effect indicating higher learning pressure in PBL.

"A total of 4 [19, 26, 31, 59] studies (N=200) also reported learning pressure. There was no significant heterogeneity (P=0.30, I2 =18%); therefore, a fixed effects model was used. We found that learning pressure was higher in the PBL teaching group than in the traditional teaching group (OR=5.95, 95% CI: 3.16~11.23, P<0.00001; Fig. 11)."
