Subclaims¶

q2 i? PBL teaching was not superior to traditional teaching in the ability to grasp knowledge points (P=0.31) or memory ability (P=0.21). → Li Ting 2024 q2 i3 PBL teaching was superior in literature retrieval ability (OR=9.38), expressive ability (OR=6.05), and learning motivation (OR=5.91). → Li Ting 2024 (2)

Evidence¶

Li Ting 2024¶

Li Ting, Song Ruohong, Zhong Wenjie, Liao Wenao, Hu Jiang, Liu Xilin, Wang Fei. (2024). Use of problem-based learning in orthopaedics education: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-024-05244-1

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-analysis of pooled secondary outcomes reported in Table 2: knowledge points (5 studies, 540 patients, pooled estimate 1.46, 95% CI 0.70–3.07, P=0.31) and memory ability (3 studies, 231 patients, 1.46, 95% CI 0.81–2.63, P=0.21) showed no superiority of PBL; no standardized effect size was printed.

"We found that PBL teaching was not superior to traditional teaching in terms of the ability to grasp knowledge points and memory ability (Table 2: see details in the Supplementary file)."

q2 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r3

Table 2 pooled results favouring PBL: literature retrieval ability OR=9.38 (6 studies, 517 patients, 95% CI 3.14–28.03), expressive ability OR=6.05 (10 studies, 669 patients, 95% CI 4.22–8.68), learning motivation OR=5.91 (4 studies, 220 patients, 95% CI 2.98–11.74); large odds ratios.

"PBL teaching was superior in terms of literature retrieval ability, expressive ability, and learning motivation (Table 2: see details in the Supplementary file)."
