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

Science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) has gained increasing attention for its potential to enhance student learning experiences, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. However, implementing STEAM in mathematics education presents numerous challenges. This study examines the factors that influence mathematics teachers' willingness to adopt STEAM by integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with an innovative component STEAM literacy. Utilizing questionnaire data from 1,173 mathematics teachers across China and employing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), our analysis highlights the critical roles of perceived usefulness and subjective norm in motivating teachers' intentions to engage with STEAM. Furthermore, we find that these intentions significantly predict actual implementation. Notably, the inclusion of STEAM literacy within the TPB-TAM framework offers a unique perspective, demonstrating that enhancing STEAM literacy, alongside fostering positive attitudes and providing adequate resources, can significantly influence both the intention and the practical adoption of STEAM education. This study delivers valuable insights for educational policymakers and practitioners on promoting STEAM effectively.
