Teacher Coaching and Consultation with Active Components for the Implementation of Social-Emotional Learning Programs in Basic Education: A Systematic Review with Thematic Synthesis.
Review in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTeacher coaching is a central driver of implementation science, yet no recent review has centered the active components of coaching and consultation, rather than social-emotional learning (SEL) programs themselves, as its primary object of synthesis. ("Basic education" is used throughout this manuscript as the English rendering of the Latin American usage of the term, corresponding to ISCED 2011 levels 0-2: early childhood, primary, and lower-secondary education; it does not include upper-secondary or tertiary education.) This mixed-methods systematic review with thematic synthesis examined how coaching and consultation models with explicit active ingredients (modeling, guided practice, reflection, goal setting, and performance feedback) affect implementation fidelity, dosage, and quality, and students' socioemotional, behavioral, and academic outcomes.
methodsFollowing PRISMA 2020 and a prospectively registered protocol (OSF M3846), we searched Scopus, Web of Science, and ERIC, supplemented by snowballing and grey literature searches. Of 341 screened records, 36 studies (2010-2026) met eligibility criteria and underwent data extraction and MMAT quality appraisal by independent reviewers (κ ≥ 0.84). A convergent segregated mixed-methods synthesis integrated qualitative thematic analysis with narrative quantitative synthesis.
resultsFour interdependent macro-themes emerged: the systemic and individual conditions enabling coaching; its active technical-relational architecture; fidelity-adaptation tensions when scaling programs across cultures; and a translational cascade whereby high-fidelity coaching is associated with stronger proximal teacher practice and classroom climate, with academic gains emerging later and inconsistently.
conclusionsCoaching appears most effective when active technical components combine with a non-evaluative consultative alliance under supportive school conditions. We propose adaptive fidelity as a framework reconciling technical rigor with cultural responsiveness, relevant for scaling coaching to lower-resource, culturally diverse contexts, including the Global South.
