To assess the effectiveness of 12 different teaching methods in teaching medical statistics courses.
CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, China Biological Data Platform, PUBMED and other databases were searched to collect research on teaching methods of medical statistics from the establishment of the database to June 2025. After literature screening, quality assessment and data extraction, Bayesian network Meta-analysis was used to evaluate the effect of each teaching method. The main evaluation indicators were final scores and teaching satisfaction.
A total of 71 articles were included, with a sample size of 12 558 for analysis. Results showed that the final grade and teaching satisfaction of the hybrid teaching (MD=9.874, 95% CI: 7.490-12.230), PBL+CBL (MD=9.460, 95% CI: 5.934-12.998), PBL (MD=8.275, 95% CI: 6.174-10.345), CBL+roll class (MD=7.568, 95% CI: 3.451-11.726), and online+roll class (MD=6.428, 95% CI2.836-10.086), CBL (MD=5.557, 95% CI: 3.126-8.006) had an increase compared with the traditional teaching method. The teaching satisfaction of online+flipped classroom (OR=4.801, 95% CI: 1.083-24.451), CBL+flipped classroom (OR=5.036, 95% CI: 2.297-10.511), blended teaching (OR=5.011, 95% CI: 3.202-7.957), PBL (OR=2.973, 95% CI: 2.121-4.441), CBL (OR=2.653, 95% CI: 1.800-3.977), and PBL+CBL (OR=4.815, 95% CI: 2.709-9.003) had improved. In the ranking of grade probability, The possibility that the flipped classroom and the online+flipped classroom had the best teaching effect was the greatest.
Compared to traditional instructional methods, teaching models such as the flipped classroom, online+flipped classroom, blended learning, and PBL+CBL, CBL+flipped classroom have demonstrated advantages in final exam scores and student satisfaction. Tailoring these innovative teaching strategies to the specific circumstances of the course is expected to effectively enhance the quality of teaching in medical statistics.
