Abstract

Introduction: virtual learning is becoming increasingly prevalent, and there is a growing need for teaching strategies that enhance student engagement and critical thinking. Multi-dimensional discussions addressing technology from technical, social, and economic perspectives provide an approach for a comprehensive understanding in virtual classrooms. Objective: this analysis aims to investigate the influence of multidimensional discussions on student engagement, comprehension, critical thinking, retention rate, participation frequency, and student satisfaction in a virtual classroom environment using statistical evaluation. Method: a six-week program was implemented across four virtual classrooms with 348 students. A different technology-related theme was examined each week through guided, multidimensional discussions that encompassed educational, technical, social, and economic aspects within the context of a structured virtual classroom environment. Quantitative data were collected using pre-and post-session tests, engagement tracking, and peer evaluations. To evaluate improvements in learning outcomes, statistical techniques such as descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and Pearson correlation analyses were used with IBM SPSS software 26.0. Results: student engagement levels increased from post-intervention (p < 0,0001). Comprehension test scores improved by 13,80 on average (pre = 64,3, post = 78,1, p < 0,001). Critical thinking scores and the variety of conversation aspects showed a moderately significant connection (r = 0,60). Peer evaluation indicated enhanced argumentation skills and increased confidence in expressing viewpoints. Conclusion: multi-dimensional discussion in virtual classrooms boosts student engagement and technology comprehension that facilitates learning and critical thinking, an important tool in online education.
