Evidence quality · No study behind this claim is a peer-reviewed article with a DOI: it rests on a source with no registered publication record (a web page, book or unpublished report). It is kept because a design page cites it; treat it as a lead to check, not an established finding.

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.
q2 i? A Repeated Measures ANOVA found a significant difference (p < 0.0001) between the two sections' RAT scores, yet each section showed students performing higher on the team portion than the individual portion. → Peterson 2015

Peterson 2015¶
Peterson, E.K. and Carrico, P. (2015). Laboratory Exercise in Behavioral Genetics Using Team-based Learning Strategies. Bioscene 41(2). https://visionandchange.org/files/2011/03/Revised-Vision-and-Change-Final-Report.pdf
q2 · i? · design · r2
Repeated Measures ANOVA (SPSS v. 22.0) comparing RAT scores between the two course sections, which took different RAT versions testing the same concepts. The article reports "a significant difference (p < 0.0001) between the two sections" while both sections showed the team-over-individual trend.
"We found a significant difference (p < 0.0001, see Figure 4B) between the two sections. However, each section followed the same trend: the students performed higher on the team portion of the RAT than the individual RAT."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Students perform significantly higher on the team portion of the Readiness Assessment Test than on the individual portion in a TBL laboratory module — related
- Dental students in a revised TBL format and medical students in the original format performed similarly on iRAT and tRAT sessions, in a non-randomised comparison of two cohorts — related
- In both TBL formats, tRAT and iSAT scores significantly improve over preceding iRAT scores — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
