Motivation stimulation and continuous learning behavior in teacher digital literacy cultivation: a self-determination theory perspective.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The cultivation of teacher digital literacy faces persistent challenges of insufficient motivation and unsustainable learning behavior despite substantial investments in professional development programs. Drawing upon Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study investigates how basic psychological need satisfaction influences teachers' intrinsic motivation and continuous learning behavior in digital literacy development. A structural equation modeling analysis of survey data from 687 K to 12 teachers who participated in digital literacy training programs reveals that autonomy support, competence support, and relatedness support significantly predict intrinsic motivation, with competence support demonstrating the strongest effect. Intrinsic motivation, in turn, strongly predicts continuous learning behavior, mediating the relationships between need supports and behavioral outcomes. The model explains 51% of variance in continuous learning behavior, demonstrating substantial explanatory power. Differential analyses indicate that mid-career teachers exhibit optimal motivation and engagement patterns. These findings provide evidence-based guidance for designing need-supportive training environments that foster autonomous motivation and sustained digital competency development among teachers.
