The review reports Alimoglu et al.'s observational study using the STROBE tool, in which mean in-class engagement scores were significantly higher for TBL groups; overall, three studies reported higher engagement versus traditional teaching and two reported high engagement without a comparator.

Learner Variables¶

• Motivation — outcome: instruction changes it
