Enhancing conceptual understanding and critical thinking in elementary science requires meaningful learning experiences supported by appropriate instructional media. Examining the effects of integrating Deep Learning approaches and audiovisual media on students’ conceptual understanding and critical thinking was the primary aim of this study. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental matching-only design involved 30 fifth-grade students, comprising 15 students in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. Data were collected using conceptual understanding and critical thinking tests, with reliability coefficients of 0.84 and 0.86, respectively. Data analysis employed ANCOVA and MANCOVA. Results showed that the experimental group obtained higher posttest means in conceptual understanding (91.47) and critical thinking (89.72) than the control group (72.47 and 68.47). ANCOVA indicated significant effects on conceptual understanding, F(1,56) = 86.57, p < 0.01, η²p = 0.59, and critical thinking, F(1,56) = 72.43, p < 0.01, η²p = 0.56. MANCOVA also revealed a significant simultaneous effect, Pillai’s Trace = 0.68, F(2,56) = 58.72, p < 0.01, η²p = 0.68. Overall, integrating Deep Learning approaches with audiovisual media substantially improved both outcomes within the studied context.

Social capital represents a relational resource developed through trust, professional networks, collaboration, peer support, and knowledge exchange. In the context of Social Studies Education, social capital can support teachers in accessing information, experiences, and professional resources relevant to professional development and instructional planning. This study aims to analyze the conceptualization of teachers’ social capital, identify its dimensions in relation to teacher professionalism, and examine its relevance to Social Studies teaching practices and instructional planning. The study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach guided by the PRISMA 2020 framework. The literature analyzed consists of scholarly publications published between 2023 and 2026 in Indonesian and English that met the established inclusion criteria. The data were analyzed through thematic synthesis based on conceptual dimensions, forms of professional relationships, and their contributions to teaching practices. The synthesis indicates that social capital facilitates teachers’ access to information, experiences, feedback, and professional support through networks and collaborative relationships. These resources can strengthen professional learning and pedagogical decision-making relevant to Social Studies instructional planning. However, empirical evidence directly linking teachers’ social capital to the quality of Social Studies instructional planning remains limited. These findings highlight the need for further research on how social capital can be translated into improvements in the quality of Social Studies instructional planning components.

The landscape of foreign language education, particularly Arabic language instruction, is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by the emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs). This Systematic Literature Review evaluates recent developments in the integration of GenAI into the Arabic language learning ecosystem, encompassing trends in the evolution of language models, pedagogical effectiveness, the utilization of automated assessment systems, as well as the linguistic and cultural challenges involved. Through a thematic synthesis of empirical and theoretical literature published between 2019 and 2026, this review confirms that GenAI significantly enhances learner engagement, instructional personalization, and language skill acquisition, particularly in vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension. These improvements are driven by the adoption of general-purpose models such as ChatGPT, as well as leading Arabic-centric models such as JAIS and ALLaM. Nevertheless, this innovative integration encounters the inherent structural complexity of the Arabic language. Generative models frequently experience technical limitations in handling syntactic rules (nahwu), morphology (shorof), diacritic disambiguation, and regional dialect variations, as evidenced by performance gaps in linguistic benchmarks such as AraLingBench and AlGhafa. Furthermore, this review discusses rapid advances in trait-based Automated Essay Scoring (AES) supported by precise prompt engineering. Based on these findings, the study concludes that although GenAI has significant potential to bring positive disruption, its successful implementation depends heavily on pedagogical readiness, digital literacy, the application of Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) collaboration, and the development of ethical frameworks aligned with the epistemology of Islamic higher education.

Speaking is an essential skill in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. However, many EFL students experience difficulties in developing speaking proficiency due to limited opportunities for oral practice, speaking anxiety, low confidence, and insufficient interaction. Although previous studies have examined Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) in English language education, their findings are distributed across different platforms, learning contexts, and outcomes. Therefore, a systematic review is needed to provide a broader understanding of how DGBL contributes to EFL speaking development and how different platforms support this process. This study aims to examine the effects of DGBL on EFL students' speaking skills and identify the digital platforms used in speaking instruction. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted by analyzing 20 selected studies through a systematic selection process based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings indicate that DGBL can support speaking development by providing opportunities for oral practice, increasing motivation and participation, strengthening confidence, and reducing speaking anxiety. The review also identifies Kahoot!, Quizizz, Wordwall, Duolingo, mobile game-based applications, and other digital game environments as platforms used in EFL learning.

Creativity is widely considered to be a core competency for learners and graduates in rapidly changing environments; personality research has identified two dispositions as relevant to creativity repeatedly: openness to experience (OE) and tolerance of ambiguity (TOA). This narrative review examined how OE, TOA and creativity are related (with particular attention to university undergraduates). The review clarifies the three constructs and their measures, summarizes evidence for OE–creativity, TOA–creativity and OE–TOA associations, compares theoretical accounts linking them together and proposes an integrative model in which TOA may explain how openness translates into creative thinking and achievement. Evidence for an OE–creativity link is substantial and comparatively consistent. Evidence for a TOA–creativity link is positive but less strong, relies heavily on self-report, and is concentrated in a small number of research groups. Formal tests of TOA as a mediator were not found. The review closes with methodological recommendations and a research agenda for undergraduate samples, including cross-cultural and longitudinal designs, and with implications for educators who wish to foster creativity as a student strength.

Rural-origin students in South African higher education face multiple, overlapping forms of marginalisation that collectively hinder their academic access and success. Despite significant policy reforms aimed at expanding access and addressing historical injustices, the educational paths of these learners are still disproportionately affected by a combination of socio-economic deprivation, linguistic exclusion, gendered vulnerabilities, and technological marginalisation. This systematic review synthesises current empirical evidence to clarify how these intersectional barriers merge to obstruct the educational journeys of rural-origin students in South African higher education. It also critically examines how institutional policies and technological interventions may unintentionally reinforce or potentially alleviate these inequities. The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, conducting a comprehensive search across multiple academic databases for studies published between 2018 and 2026. After a rigorous screening and eligibility process, 52 studies met the inclusion criteria and underwent thematic analysis guided by Nancy Fraser's trivalent social justice framework. Five overarching themes emerged: The multidimensional digital divide; linguistic exclusion and the devaluation of vernacular knowledge; gendered vulnerabilities and the burden of social reproduction; algorithmic bias and the risks associated with technological solutionism; and governance gaps alongside the failure of participatory parity. The findings revealed that existing equity frameworks inadequately address the structural dimensions of rural marginalisation. Achieving educational equity necessitates a fundamental shift towards intersectionality-aware, context-sensitive institutional policies that prioritise resource redistribution, cultural recognition, and the meaningful representation of students from rural backgrounds in decision-making processes.

Geometry problem-solving requires learners to coordinate conceptual knowledge, spatial representation, strategy use and the regulation of cognition, motivation and effort. This systematic review examined how self-regulated learning (SRL) operates in geometry problem-solving and which learner, task, social, instructional and developmental conditions shape it. A Scopus search reported according to PRISMA 2020 identified 1,298 records; database limits left 529, and eligibility screening retained 32 empirical studies published from 2021 to 2026. Twelve studies involved undergraduates or pre-service teachers, seven involved school pupils, one involved kindergarten children and 12 did not state the educational level in the extracted records. Study quality was appraised with the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool, and thematic synthesis identified four themes: planning and strategic regulation; monitoring, control and strategy adaptation; learner characteristics and outcomes; and instructional scaffolding and technology. Successful performance was associated with problem representation, strategy selection, monitoring, error detection, adaptation and evaluation. Diagnostic and elaborated feedback, content-focused peer feedback and supportive scaffolding were more informative than the presence of technology. Evidence on learner characteristics was mainly correlational, and evidence on young learners was thin. The review proposes a Process-Oriented Framework of Self-Regulated Geometry Problem-Solving that links input conditions, forethought, performance regulation, reflection, and outcomes and it is best supported for adolescent and adult learners. Future research should combine self-report with behavioural, longitudinal and process-tracing evidence and develop age-appropriate SRL measures for young children.

Information technology (IT) professionals in India work under tight deadlines, long hours, job insecurity and rapid technological change, and Indian studies report substantial levels of stress, depressive symptoms and burnout in this group. How employees cope may help explain why some function well under these conditions while others do not. This narrative review synthesises research on coping strategies and psychological well-being among Indian IT professionals, drawing also on studies of other Indian occupational groups and international technology workers, with particular attention to gender. The evidence shows that approach-oriented strategies such as planning, active coping, positive reframing, acceptance and seeking support are generally associated with better well-being, whereas denial, behavioural disengagement, substance use and self-blame are associated with poorer well-being. Gender findings are inconsistent: some studies report higher stress or burnout among women, while others find no gender difference in depression, anxiety or well-being. Most studies are cross-sectional, use differing measures and were conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The review identifies the need for strategy-level analysis of coping, gender-balanced samples, research in under-studied IT hubs such as Gurgaon, and longitudinal designs.

Qur’an memorization programs in Madrasah Tsanawiyah require alignment between memorization achievement, recitation accuracy, long-term retention, and learning support. An emphasis on the quantity of memorized material alone provides an incomplete account of program quality and sustainability. This study examines strategies for implementing Qur’an memorization programs by exploring the relationships among learning approaches, evaluation, and supporting factors. It adopts a qualitative approach using a narrative literature review design. Sources comprise scholarly articles on Qur’an memorization, educational management, memory, assessment, and learning motivation. Materials were collected through document review and examined using narrative analysis to interpret arguments, compare findings within their contexts, and explain relationships across concepts. The review indicates that tahfidz instruction should connect recitation guidance, the acquisition of new memorization, retrieval practice, and the continuous review of previously memorized material. Assessment can inform instructional adjustments when it addresses recitation accuracy, fluency, retention, and individual progress. Teacher competence, psychological support, family involvement, and institutional scheduling provide complementary support for implementing these adjustments. Taken together, the literature suggests that program strategies should connect students’ learning needs, instructional practices, assessment information, and follow-up actions. This interpretation offers a basis for reviewing tahfidz practices in Madrasah Tsanawiyah, while its application requires attention to students’ characteristics and institutional resources. The conclusions represent a synthesis of the reviewed literature rather than evidence of the effectiveness of a tested program model. [Program tahfidz Al-Qur’an di Madrasah Tsanawiyah memerlukan keselarasan antara capaian hafalan, ketepatan bacaan, retensi jangka panjang, dan dukungan belajar. Penekanan pada jumlah materi yang dihafal saja belum memberikan gambaran utuh tentang mutu dan keberlanjutan program. Penelitian ini mengkaji strategi pelaksanaan program tahfidz dengan menelaah hubungan antara pendekatan pembelajaran, evaluasi, dan faktor pendukung. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain kajian literatur naratif. Sumber mencakup artikel ilmiah tentang tahfidz, pengelolaan pendidikan, memori, penilaian, dan motivasi belajar. Bahan dikumpulkan melalui studi dokumen dan dikaji menggunakan analisis naratif untuk menafsirkan argumentasi, membandingkan temuan sesuai konteksnya, serta menjelaskan hubungan antarkonsep. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran tahfidz perlu menghubungkan bimbingan bacaan, penambahan hafalan, latihan mengambil kembali informasi, dan pengulangan berkelanjutan atas materi yang telah dihafal. Penilaian dapat menjadi dasar penyesuaian pembelajaran ketika memperhatikan ketepatan bacaan, kelancaran, retensi, dan kemajuan individual. Kompetensi guru, dukungan psikologis, keterlibatan keluarga, dan pengaturan jadwal kelembagaan saling melengkapi dalam mendukung penyesuaian tersebut. Secara keseluruhan, literatur mengisyaratkan bahwa strategi program perlu menghubungkan kebutuhan belajar siswa, praktik pembelajaran, informasi penilaian, dan tindakan tindak lanjut. Interpretasi ini memberikan dasar untuk meninjau praktik tahfidz di Madrasah Tsanawiyah, sementara penerapannya memerlukan perhatian terhadap karakteristik siswa dan sumber daya lembaga. Simpulan merupakan sintesis literatur yang dikaji, bukan bukti efektivitas model program yang telah diuji]

Background Sleep problems are common among university students due to academic stress, lifestyle factors, and psychological distress and may adversely affect physical and mental health, academic performance, and social functioning. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have increasingly been used as a non-pharmacological approach to improve sleep health; however, previous findings remain inconsistent, and evidence specifically addressing sleep quality in university students remains limited. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of MBIs on sleep quality in university students and explore factors that may account for variations in intervention effects. Methods We searched seven databases—PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, and ScienceDirect—from inception to June 26, 2026. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating MBIs for sleep quality in university students were included. Two reviewers independently conducted study selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment using the RoB 2 tool. Meta-analysis was conducted in Stata 17.0 using a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses, sensitivity analyses, publication bias assessment, and GRADE assessment were also performed. Results Ten RCTs involving 638 university students were included, with 335 participants in the intervention groups and 303 in the control groups. MBIs significantly improved sleep quality [SMD = −0.97, 95% CI (−1.43, −0.51), p < 0.001], although substantial heterogeneity was observed ( I 2 = 85.1%). Subgroup analyses revealed statistically significant between-group differences with respect to sleep-outcome measurement instrument ( p = 0.001), intervention type ( p = 0.009), and session duration ( p = 0.030), indicating that these variables may partially account for the observed heterogeneity. Sensitivity analyses supported the robustness of the pooled results. Egger’s test revealed no evidence of significant publication bias ( p = 0.270). The certainty of the evidence was rated as low according to the GRADE framework. Conclusion MBIs may improve sleep quality in university students. However, given the substantial heterogeneity and low certainty of evidence, further high-quality RCTs are needed to confirm these findings.

The aim of this systematic review is to comprehensively evaluate recent research examining the relationships between teachers’ psychological resilience, burnout, and related variables from a holistic perspective. In this context, empirical and review studies published between 2020 and 2025 and conducted with teacher samples were analyzed using a systematic review methodology. The literature search was carried out in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), and Scopus databases, and studies were selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. As a result of this process, 23 empirical studies and 4 review studies were included in the systematic review.The findings indicate that teachers’ psychological resilience is negatively associated with the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization dimensions of burnout, while it is positively related to favorable outcomes such as professional efficacy, well-being, and work engagement. Teachers with higher levels of psychological resilience appear to be more resistant to occupational demands and experience lower levels of burnout symptoms. While some of the reviewed studies identified psychological resilience as a direct predictor of burnout, others revealed indirect effects through variables such as job stress, teacher self-efficacy, motivation, and organizational conditions. The findings of the review studies further support these results and emphasize the importance of conceptualizing teachers’ psychological resilience within a framework of individual and organizational resources.In conclusion, this systematic review demonstrates that teachers’ psychological resilience functions as a significant protective factor against burnout. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at strengthening teachers’ psychological resilience at both individual and organizational levels may play a critical role in promoting sustainable teacher well-being.

This study aims to examine research trends and synthesize key findings related to the implementation of outdoor learning in science education through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The literature search was conducted using the Scopus database and focused on publications published between 2021 and 2025. The initial search retrieved 197 records, which were subsequently screened in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 12 studies being selected for further analysis. Based on the descriptive mapping and synthesis of the selected studies, the findings suggest that outdoor learning may enhance students' conceptual understanding, engagement, learning motivation, and several aspects of thinking skills, although direct evidence regarding critical thinking remains limited. The reviewed studies suggest that outdoor learning may support conceptual understanding, engagement, motivation, and some aspects of thinking skills, although direct evidence on critical thinking remains relatively limited. Mixed methods emerged as the most frequently used research approach, followed by qualitative and quantitative methods. The review further identifies underexplored areas, particularly technology integration and the implementation of outdoor learning across diverse educational contexts, highlighting important opportunities for future research.

This study aims to synthesize the relationship between deep learning strategies and students' critical thinking skills within the context of Economics education. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, we examined 24 scholarly publications. The synthesis reveals three key findings: (1) a deep learning approach has a significant influence on higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) and critical thinking abilities; however, this relationship is complex and mediated by variables such as epistemological beliefs, perceptions of the learning context, and intrinsic motivation. (2) The adoption of a deep learning approach does not automatically result in high-level critical thinking skills; therefore, such skills require explicit and structured development. (3) Inquiry-based learning strategies, structured collaboration, and the integration of technology as a cognitive scaffold have proven most effective in promoting both aspects synergistically. This study offers practical implications for the design of Economics instruction—specifically regarding the cultivation of deep knowledge and the development of critical thinking skills—within the framework of the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum).

Background Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide and is frequently accompanied by psychological and functional impairments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a third-wave behavioral intervention focusing on psychological flexibility, has been increasingly applied in stroke rehabilitation. Although previous reviews have suggested beneficial effects of ACT in stroke patients, whether these benefits persist in the short term after the intervention ends, and the certainty of the evidence, remain unclear. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261325108). Randomized controlled trials evaluating ACT in stroke patients were included. Pooled effects were calculated using random-effects models, with separate analyses for post-intervention and follow-up outcomes. Sources of heterogeneity were explored using subgroup analyses and meta-regression. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool, and certainty of evidence was evaluated using the GRADE framework. Results Twenty-two RCTs involving 1,975 participants were included. ACT may be associated with reductions in depressive symptoms (post-intervention: SMD = −1.32, 95% CI: −1.80 to −0.84; follow-up: SMD = −0.76, 95% CI: −1.07 to −0.45) and anxiety symptoms (post-intervention: SMD = −1.36, 95% CI: −1.90 to −0.82; follow-up: SMD = −0.51, 95% CI: −1.42 to 0.40, not significant); depressive symptoms remained statistically significant at follow-up. Heterogeneity was considerable for both outcomes at post-intervention ( I 2 = 93.68% for depression and 93.60% for anxiety), so the pooled estimates represent average effects across studies. ACT may also be associated with improvements in psychological flexibility, quality of life, and sleep quality; however, these outcomes were based on a limited number of studies and showed considerable heterogeneity ( I 2 = 74.68 to 92.26%), so they should be interpreted cautiously. However, no statistically significant effects were observed for activities of daily living, neurological function, or hope. ACT did not appear to increase dropout rates in the available studies ( K = 16; RR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.58–1.69). Meta-regression analyses indicated that intervention duration may not be a significant moderator of treatment effects. The certainty of evidence ranged from very low to moderate, mainly due to risk of bias and inconsistency. Conclusion Acceptance and Commitment Therapy may be a useful adjunctive intervention for improving psychological outcomes in people with stroke. However, evidence for functional recovery remains insufficient. Future high-quality RCTs with standardized protocols, larger samples, and longer follow-up are needed to confirm the long-term effectiveness of ACT.

Introduction Universal Design for Learning (UDL) has emerged as a prominent framework for promoting inclusive education by addressing learner variability through flexible curriculum design, instruction, and assessment. Although interest in UDL has expanded globally, evidence regarding its implementation in primary mathematics education remains fragmented across diverse educational contexts. This systematic review synthesized empirical evidence on UDL implementation in primary mathematics education and developed an evidence-informed integrative framework to guide research and practice. Methods The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guidelines. Searches conducted in Scopus and Web of Science identified 168 records, from which 14 studies met the inclusion criteria. Methodological quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT, Version 2018), and data were synthesized through thematic analysis. Results Three substantive themes emerged: instructional practices supporting UDL implementation, educational outcomes associated with UDL implementation, and contextual challenges and enabling factors. The findings revealed that effective UDL implementation was characterized by differentiated instruction, multiple means of representation, engagement, and action and expression, supported by accessible learning resources and digital technologies. These practices were associated with improved mathematics achievement, conceptual understanding, learner engagement, participation, and accessibility. However, successful implementation depended on sustained teacher professional development, institutional support, and equitable access to instructional resources. Discussion The review informed the development of an evidence-informed integrative framework that contextualizes UDL implementation within primary mathematics education. By linking enabling conditions, instructional practices, contextual influences, and learner outcomes, the framework extends existing UDL applications and offers a comprehensive model for advancing inclusive mathematics education. The findings underscore the importance of systemic support structures in ensuring effective and sustainable UDL implementation.

Higher education has historically operated under a paradigm of information scarcity, positioning universities as premier institutions for curating and transmitting knowledge. The convergence of digital hyper-abundance, algorithmic curation, and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has disrupted this model, producing what educators increasingly describe as a crisis of critical thinking in higher education. The purpose of this review is to examine how information abundance, algorithmic curation, and GenAI use may influence university students’ critical thinking, and to synthesise what this evidence implies for what universities teach and how they assess. Using a critical narrative review design with thematic synthesis, the review analyses 45 verified sources (empirical studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, conceptual works, and policy guidance) identified through citation chaining and targeted searches; empirical GenAI studies date from November 2022 to 2026, and foundational theoretical works from 1976 onward. The synthesis is anchored in an integrative framework that combines cognitive load and dual-process theory, cognitive offloading, scaffolding theory, self-regulated learning, and epistemic cognition, with critical thinking as the principal outcome. Five themes emerged: (1) information abundance appears to shift the central cognitive challenge from retrieval to evaluation; (2) unguided GenAI use is associated with reduced cognitive engagement and, in several experiments, with weaker independent performance once AI support is removed, although guardrailed designs appear to mitigate this; (3) fluent AI output can be mistaken for validated knowledge, and AI-detection tools are unreliable and biased; (4) lateral reading, guided AI use, and process-visible assessment have promising but uneven support; and (5) workload, equity, and policy constraints limit adoption. From these themes, the review derives the Fade–Visibility Matrix, which crosses AI support structure (persistent versus fading) with assessment design (product-only versus process-visible) to yield four diagnostic states. The evidence is early and methodologically uneven, but it is most consistent with a structural rather than individual explanation. Universities should therefore teach evaluation, verification, and metacognitive regulation explicitly, design AI support to fade, and redesign assessment so that the learning process, not only the finished product, can be observed.

Background Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is common among adolescents and often remains concealed because of shame and stigma. Voluntary disclosure can provide access to support, but emotional and interpersonal concerns shape the decision to disclose. This review will synthesize disclosure experiences, barriers, and facilitators reported by adolescents who have voluntarily disclosed NSSI at least once. Methods Primary qualitative studies and separately extractable qualitative components of mixed-methods studies involving adolescents aged 10–19 years will be eligible. Searches will cover PubMed, Embase, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection. China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database will also be searched. Coverage will extend from inception through 31 March 2026, inclusive, without language restrictions; formal searches have not yet been executed. Gray literature, reference lists, and forward citations will also be searched. Two human reviewers will independently select studies, appraise them using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) qualitative checklist, and extract findings. Findings will be synthesized using JBI meta-aggregation, with confidence assessed using ConQual. Discussion The synthesis will examine disclosure decisions, recipients' responses, and subsequent experiences from adolescents' perspectives. Findings may inform clinical, school, and family support for voluntary NSSI disclosure.

This systematic literature review synthesizes empirical evidence on the relationship between instructional leadership and teacher self-efficacy and identifies the key mechanisms that mediate this relationship across diverse educational contexts. Following the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was conducted in the Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases for empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025, using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods designs and focusing on school-level instructional leadership and teacher self-efficacy. A total of 21 primary empirical studies met the inclusion criteria and were selected for qualitative synthesis. The review revealed a consistent positive relationship between instructional leadership and teacher self-efficacy. This relationship is supported by interconnected organizational, professional, and psychological mechanisms, including professional learning opportunities, teacher collaboration, supportive school environments, and trust in leadership. The findings indicate that effective instructional leadership is associated with stronger teacher confidence in their professional capabilities by fostering conducive conditions for learning and growth. Based on the synthesized evidence, this study proposes a Multi-Pathway Model that conceptualizes instructional leadership as a multi-level capacity-building process associated with stronger teacher self-efficacy. The review contributes to the educational leadership literature by providing an integrative explanation of the relationship between instructional leadership and teacher self-efficacy. It also offers practical implications for policymakers and school leaders to promote collaboration, continuous professional learning, and a positive school climate to enhance teacher capacity and sustain school improvement. Keywords: educational leadership, instructional leadership, teacher self-efficacy, professional learning, systematic literature review.

Purpose: This study examines the role of individual management educators in implementing Responsible Management Education (RME). It addresses a critical gap in the literature, which has disproportionately focused on institutional adoption and programme-level commitments rather than the agency, practices, and development of academics who translate these principles into reality. Methodology: Following PRISMA guidelines, this systematic literature review identified 42 peer-reviewed articles from Google Scholar (2000–2025). The data were analyzed using the inductive Gioia methodology to capture educators' actions and mapped against the UN’s seven Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). Findings: The review synthesizes individual academic action into four interconnected, mutually reinforcing themes: curriculum revisions, enhanced external engagement, embodiment of pedagogical changes, and academic development in teaching, learning, and researching (TLR). Crucially, academic development serves as the foundational connective thread, empowering educators with the research capability, credibility, and peer support required to drive the other three dimensions. Implications: For academics, the study demonstrates that RME is enacted through everyday choices in classroom pedagogy and collaborative research. For business school leadership, it highlights that institutional change requires actively supporting educators through protected time, mentoring, and revised workload and promotion incentives that reward responsible scholarship. Originality: By shifting the unit of analysis from the institution to the individual academic, this paper addresses why top-level PRME commitments often decouple into symbolic rhetoric. It contributes to a dynamic conceptual framework that models the individual educator as the central change agent orchestrating curriculum revision, pedagogical innovation, external collaboration, and scholarship. Limitations and directions for future research: This review primarily draws literature from Google Scholar and provides an interpretive thematic synthesis. Future research should empirically validate the framework through surveys and interviews across diverse geographic and developing-economy contexts, while further exploring the under-researched PRME Practice principle. Keywords: Responsible Management Education; PRME; Business Academics; Business Schools; Higher Education
