Subclaims¶

q3 i? Practical skill scores pooled from three articles showed no significant difference between TBL and PBL groups (SMD = 0.01, 95% CI: -1.09–1.12); equivalence was not tested. → 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 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analysis pooling practical skill scores from three articles with 248 participants using a random-effects model due to significant heterogeneity (I2 = 87.7%, P < 0.0001). The pooled "SMD = 0.01" with a very wide confidence interval indicates no detected difference; Egger's test showed no publication bias (P=0.35).

"The pooled results showed that the practical skill scores were not significantly different between the TBL and PBL groups (SMD = 0.01, 95% CI: -1.09–1.12)"
