Teachers' Perceptions of the PIL-SMART Model: A Semlj Analysis of its Influence on Science and Environmental Literacy in Early Childhood Education.

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
Background: Science and environmental literacy are foundations for children's scientific thinking and ecological awareness. However, integrated learning approaches connecting these competencies remain limited in early childhood education. This study examined associations among teachers' perceptions of Project-Inquiry Learning integrating Science, Mathematics, Art, Religion, and Technology (PIL-SMART), teacher-rated science literacy, and teacher-rated environmental literacy. Methods: A cross-sectional survey involved 200 teachers from 125 early childhood education institutions in Bekasi City, West Java, Indonesia. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire measuring three constructs. Reliability analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling were conducted using Jamovi with the SEMLj module. Following measurement-model evaluation, 28 indicators were retained: ten for PIL-SMART, nine for science literacy, and nine for environmental literacy. Results: The model demonstrated fit, χ Conclusion: Favourable perceptions of PIL-SMART were associated with higher teacher ratings of children's science and environmental literacy. Because this cross-sectional study used teacher-reported measures, the findings indicate associations rather than causal effects. Future studies should use child assessments, classroom observations, and longitudinal or experimental designs.
