Note: The short‐term and follow‐up results were reported in Section 5.3.1 of the main text, and the peer‐assisted and small‐group instruction results in Table 4. Columns 6–10 report estimates using study‐level average effect sizes and the REML option with the Knapp and Hartung adjustment of standard errors in the R package metafor to estimate weighted average effect sizes, confidence intervals (in brackets), and heterogeneity.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; ES, effect sizes.
