However, most existing research has been cross-sectional, lacking a longitudinal perspective on how these emotional capacities evolve during the practicum. Addressing this gap, the present study investigates the developmental trajectories of, and interrelations between, EI and ER among pre-service teachers using a longitudinal design. Participants included 225 fourth-year undergraduates from nine majors in a teacher education programme at a normal university in China. Latent growth curve modelling revealed that both EI and ER followed linear growth trends, with significant individual differences in EI but not ER. Cross-lagged panel analysis indicated that while EI remained relatively stable, ER development was more dynamic. Importantly, EI at mid-practicum significantly predicted ER at the end. These findings underscore the stability of EI, the variability of ER, and the predictive influence of EI on ER, highlighting the importance of embedding emotional competence training and emotional support systems within the practicum experience.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47585,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Education","volume":"60 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145037907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the impact of AI literacy on the innovative behaviour of doctoral students, proposing a theoretical model of ‘AI literacy-innovative behavior’ from the perspective of technology affordance. Specifically, it explored the chain mediating effect of AI affordance and emotional engagement between AI literacy and doctoral students' innovative behaviour. This study investigated 354 doctoral students from three Chinese universities and tested the proposed theoretical model through partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Results indicate that AI literacy has a significant positive impact on innovative behaviour, AI affordance and emotional engagement both serve as mediators in the relationship between AI literacy and innovative behaviour, and AI affordance and emotional engagement play a chain mediating role in the relationship between AI literacy and innovative behaviour.

Based on data from multiple sources, mainly semi-structured interviews, the findings reveal tensions between imagined identities, often characterised by research-oriented aspirations, and the institutional demands, including pedagogical responsibilities and performance-based pressures such as the ‘publish or perish’ culture. These tensions are mediated by NLTEs' cognitive representations of their identities, informed by prior experiences, professional environments, and social interactions. The study highlights the dynamic and context-dependent nature of identity (re)construction, offering implications on how universities can support NLTEs in aligning their imagined and practiced identities.

Results show that the support networks described by participants were of small and medium density.
