Table 2 Student mobility between pharmacology knowledge levels during Year 1

From: Factors affecting pharmacology learning in integrated PBL in diverse medical students: a mixed methods study

  1. Percentages refer to the proportions of students from each quartile in the pharmacology knowledge test at the beginning of the academic year that were in the corresponding quartile at the end of the academic year (*test score range: 0–50). Students starting off with lower pharmacological knowledge (i.e. in the 1st and 2nd quartiles) remained in the lowest quartiles, while students who had higher pharmacological knowledge continued to primarily stay in the highest performing quartiles, further supporting the significance of baseline knowledge. As expected, mean scores increased progressively in each of the quartiles (post-test mean scores shown in the last row)
