Background: interactive engagement is widely promoted in physics education, yet its magnitude requires quantitative synthesis. Aim: to evaluate the effectiveness of interactive methods in physics instruction. Methods: structured synthesis of peer-reviewed studies indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. Results: interactive engagement produced a normalized gain of 0.48 versus 0.23 in traditional courses, raised examination scores by 0.47 SD and lowered failure rates from 33.8% to 21.8%. Conclusion: interactive methods are consistently superior and merit systematic adoption.
