Creative Work as Seen Through the ATHENA Competency Model.

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.
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
This article introduces the ATHENA competency model, a systemic framework designed to conceptualize and support the development of creativity and complex skills in professional and educational contexts. Creativity, increasingly seen as essential across sectors, requires the coordination of cognitive, motivational, emotional, social, and sensorimotor resources. ATHENA conceptualizes competencies as emergent, agentic behaviors, not static possessions, arising from the coordination of five dimensions: cognition, conation, knowledge, emotion, and sensorimotion. These are subdivided into 60 facets, each described across four progressive mastery levels, enabling fine-grained diagnosis and developmental roadmaps. To operationalize this framework, ATHENA includes three modules: Skills, which models the requirements of professional tasks; Profile, which analyzes learner populations and contextual constraints; and LEARN, a repertory of pedagogical activities linked to ATHENA facets. The article illustrates the system through two case studies of creative job activities-graphic design and workshop facilitation-demonstrating how ATHENA aligns abstract competencies with practical training interventions. The model bridges theoretical research in psychology, creativity, and education with instructional design. Future work aims to refine its applicability, scalability, and cross-cultural relevance.
