1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the effect of P4C-based teaching on the development of listening skills and lesson motivation. METHODOLOGY: The study used an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. The study group consisted of 48 fifth-grade students (24 in the experimental group and 24 in the control group) enrolled in a state middle school in Turkey. Turkish lessons for the experimental group were conducted over 12 class hours across 6 weeks using lesson content developed according to the P4C Education Program. At the end of the intervention, interviews were conducted with students in the experimental group to determine their views on the P4C applications.

findingsQuantitative findings showed that listening performance and motivation scores increased significantly in the experimental group, while there was only a limited change in the control group. Qualitative data, on the other hand, showed that students were able to focus for longer periods during P4C sessions, understood the coherence of events and texts better, felt more successful and motivated, participated actively in class, and were more willing to listen to their peers. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Research has shown that the intervention, delivered using P4C-based teaching, was significantly associated with an increase in children's listening comprehension skills and their motivation towards the subject. Furthermore, the research showed that P4C supports not only cognitive outcomes but also the affective components of the learning process.
