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

purposeEmotional intelligence (EI) plays a crucial role in shaping teachers' confidence in the classroom. As educators face increasing challenges in today's dynamic educational environment, understanding how EI influences teaching self-efficacy is essential for enhancing instructional quality. This study investigates the influence of EI on the teachers' self-efficacy (TSE) of Senior High School (SHS) Economics teachers in Ghana. It further examines the mediating role of creativity-nurturing behavior (CNB) and the moderating role of metacognitive awareness (MA) in this relationship.

methodA descriptive cross-sectional survey design was employed, involving a census of 180 SHS Economics teachers from the Kumasi Metropolis of Ghana. Data were collected using adapted scales for EI, CNB, MA, and TSE. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data and test the moderated mediation model. FINDING: The findings revealed that EI significantly influenced CNB and TSE. Additionally, the study identified that CNB had a significant positive effect on TSE. CNB partially mediated the positive relationship between EI and TSE. MA negatively moderated the relationship between EI and CNB. Again, MA influenced the indirect effect of EI on TSE through CNB.

conclusionEI is vital for enhancing Economics teachers' confidence in their instructional abilities. The study underscores the importance of fostering EI, CNB, and MA through professional development programs to improve educational outcomes.
