q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-analysis of 6 studies involving 939 students reporting satisfaction with improved self-study ability, pooled with a random-effects model. The pooled risk ratio favored PBL: "RR = 1.44, 95% CI [1.16, 1.79], P = .0008, I2 = 84%"; no standardized effect size was printed for this outcome.

"We found that a higher proportion of participants thought that the PBL method strongly influenced their self-study ability (72.8% in the PBL group vs 54.7% in the LBL group, RR = 1.44, 95% CI [1.16, 1.79], P = .0008, I2 = 84%) when compared to the LBL method in random-effects model."
