The predicting role of EFL teachers’ loving pedagogy practice in the dynamics of emotional literacy and professional development: a longitudinal latent growth curve model (LGCM) analysis

The dataset includes the results of a study examining the “going-togetherness” of EFL teachers’ loving pedagogy, emotional literacy, and professional development across three time points (three administrations). The first Excel file presents participants’ demographic characteristics and their responses at the first administration. The second file contains the total factor scores for the components used in the LGCM analysis. The full study results have been published in the Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education (Jahanbakhsh et al., 2026): Asian. J. Second. Foreign. Lang. Educ.
