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 i1 Both Chinese and Western students benefited from TBL, with Western students (SMD = 1.07) showing larger improvements than Chinese students (SMD = 0.58). → Xie Zhi-Bo 2025

q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r3
Subgroup analysis of 6 studies focused on Chinese students and 20 studies on Western country students. Both groups showed significant improvements, and "Western students appeared to benefit more from the TBL method compared to Chinese students".
"Results showed that both groups benefited from the TBL class, with Chinese students (SMD = 0.58, 95%CI 0.23 to 0.93, I2 = 67.0%, random-effects model) and Western students (SMD = 1.07, 95%CI 0.76 to 1.38, I2 = 94.7%, random-effects model) showing significant improvements"
