q3 i3 Pooled results from two studies demonstrated TBL significantly improves teamwork skills compared with PBL (SMD = 1.18, 95% CI: 0.72–1.63). → Zhang Weilin 2024

Evidence¶

Zhang Weilin 2024¶

Zhang Weilin, Wei Jinsong, Guo Weixiong, Wang Zhongwei, Chen Siyuan. (2024). Comparing the effects of team-based and problem-based learning strategies in medical education: a systematic review. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-024-05107-9

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r1

Meta-analysis pooling teamwork-skill outcomes from two studies using a fixed-effects model after finding no significant heterogeneity (I2 = 15.7%, P = 0.276). The pooled "SMD = 1.18" with CI 0.72–1.63 favors TBL; the effect size is large but rests on only two studies.

"The results demonstrated that TBL can significantly improve teamwork skills compared with PBL (SMD = 1.18, 95% CI: 0.72–1.63)"
