Effect of WebQuest-based education on critical thinking and academic self-efficacy of midwifery students: Study protocol of a randomized, controlled crossover trial.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimCritical thinking fills the gap between theoretical and clinical teaching and increases the power of clinical decision-making. WebQuest is an innovative, learner-centered, and effort-driven learning approach that uses computer technology to engage and motivate learners. In WebQuest, learners are compelled to use the latest information available on the web as a tool to promote higher levels of thinking. However, we did not find a study that used WebQuest to improve students' critical thinking and academic self-efficacy. The aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of WebQuest-based education on the critical thinking of midwifery students. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis superiority randomized, controlled crossover trial will be carried out among fifth-semester undergraduate midwifery students. Participants will be allocated to one of two event groups (A and B) using block randomization. In the first sequence (FS) (four weeks) of study, both groups will simultaneously attend two different education groups (WebQuest and traditional). During the FS, WebQuest will be used to teach group A participants, while group B participants will be treated as the control group (CG) and be taught using a traditional presentation. In the second sequence (SS), the interventions will be crossed over. Participants in both groups will complete the sociodemographic questionnaire, the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST), the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI), and the Academic Self-Efficacy Beliefs Questionnaire (ASEBQ) once before the first sequence of the study, during the washout period, and at the end of the second sequence of the study. The teaching satisfaction questionnaire will be completed at the end of the study. DISCUSSION: The results of this study can be used as a basis for teaching midwifery students using WebQuest as a new teaching method.
