Meta-analysis of the fourteen attitude studies using Hedges' d. The review reports Transformative Learning Theory highest at "d= 1,4760" and Problem Based Learning lowest at "d= -0,3949- negligible" per the Thalheimer and Cook classification.

"According to the results given in Table 2, in terms of attitude scores, while Transformative Learning Theory had the highest effect size (d= 1,4760 – a huge level-) in Biology pre-service teachers, Problem Based Learning had the lowest one (d= -0,3949- negligible) in Science pre -service teachers among the applications included in the study."
