Can online discussions facilitate deep learning for students in General Education?
Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Studies suggest that online discussions complement teaching and students' learning. However, research also indicates that some tutors and students are uncertain about the value and quality of the learning process in online discussions. The debate and uncertainty necessitate more studies on students' learning quality and depth in online discussions. Therefore, this study aimed to explore how the quality of students' learning and posts are influenced by the deep learning approach in General Education classes through the online discussions. Data collection and analysis were done using both qualitative and quantitative strategies. For the qualitative part, students' posts were retrieved verbatim and mapped deductively with the deep and surface learning approaches, while the number of students' post were collected and analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that most students' posts are of high quality and are grounded in the deep learning approach through their engagements in online discussions and a reflective assignment. The study concludes that online discussions can foster deep learning if instructors provide students with clear guidelines and reasonable time to engage with colleagues.
