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

The purpose of this study was twofold: first, to design a novel scale for measuring AI-driven pedagogical leadership agility, with a particular focus on its ethical and spiritual dimensions within educational leadership, and second, to evaluate the psychometric properties of this scale among secondary school administrators in Jordan. The primary aim was to provide a reliable and valid instrument to support leaders in navigating AI integration while maintaining ethical accountability and fostering spiritually informed leadership practices. The study proceeded in two main phases. Initially, the conceptual framework and item pool were developed based on a systematic literature review and semi-structured interviews with educational experts. Subsequently, data were collected from a stratified random sample of 740 secondary school principals in Jordan, and construct validity was examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), exploratory graph analysis (EGA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was assessed through Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, composite reliability, and test-retest stability, while convergent validity, discriminant validity, and measurement invariance across gender were also evaluated. The analyses revealed a robust five-factor structure underpinning the scale, consisting of 33 items distributed across Algorithmic Vision in Educational Leadership, Spiritual Visionary Leadership, Ethics and Algorithmic Transparency in AI-Enabled School Leadership, AI-Enabled Innovative Educational Leadership, and AI-Responsive Crisis Management Leadership. CFA confirmed excellent model fit, and reliability indices demonstrated strong internal consistency and stability. Among the dimensions, Spiritual Visionary Leadership and Ethics and Algorithmic Transparency showed the highest reliability and predictive importance. Overall, findings suggest that the AI-Driven Pedagogical Leadership Agility Scale (AIDPLA) is a valid and reliable tool for assessing leadership agility infused with ethical and spiritual considerations in the context of AI integration in Jordanian secondary education.
