Evidence¶

Lou Jicheng 2025¶

Lou Jicheng, Guo Feng. (2025). Comparing the seminar-case learning and lecture-based learning models in medical education: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-025-07041-w

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-analysis of 10 RCTs (562 students) reporting skill scores. Found SCL "associated with higher skill scores" compared to LBL, with a weighted mean difference of "MD 5.37".

"Compared with the LBL model, the SCL model was associated with higher skill scores (MD 5.37, 95% CI 3.53–7.21; p < 0.00001; I2 = 95%)"
