Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

CGEN was founded in the early 1990s by the Canadian Geoscience Council, and now functions as the outreach arm of the Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences. The need to promote and publicize the earth sciences became clear in the 1980s with growing evidence of science illiteracy among the general public. CGEN, with its goal of raising public awareness of the earth sciences through improving the quality of earth science education and public outreach, has enjoyed explosive growth in the past few years, more than tripling its membership to roughly 300. CGEN membership now includes teachers, writers, artists, museum staff, and others, in addition to earth scientists. CGEN is the focal point for earth science education and outreach in Canada. Through it, people are connecting, developing new partnerships, learning from the successes of others, and sharing information, materials and ideas for teaching and promoting the earth sciences. CGEN supports six core programs, including Careers in Earth Science, EarthNet, EdGEO, Friends of Canadian Geoheritage, Geoscape Canada, and What on Earth. SOMMAIRE Le RCEG a ete fonde au debut des annees 1990 par le Conseil canadien des geosciences et fonctionne desormais comme l’organisme de sensibilisation de la Federation canadienne des sciences de la Terre. Au cours des annees 1980, il est devenu evident qu’il fallait promouvoir et publiciser les sciences de la Terre aupres du grand public, etant donne la faiblesse des connaissances du grand public en la matiere. Poursuivant son objectif de sensibilisation du public aux sciences de la Terre par l'amelioration de la qualite de l'enseignement des sciences de la Terre et la tenue d’activites de sensibilisation du public, le RCEG a connu une croissance fulgurante au cours des dernieres annees, et le nombre de ses membres a plus que triple pour atteindre 300 environ. Le RCEG regroupe maintenant des enseignants, des ecrivains, des artistes, du personnel du musee, et d'autres, en plus de specialistes des sciences de la Terre. Le RCEG est devenu le carrefour canadien de l’enseignement et des activites de sensibilisation en sciences de la Terre. Par son entremise, les gens creent des liens, developpent de nouveaux partenariats, peuvent profiter des succes d’autrui et se partager de l’information, du materiel et des idees pour enseigner et promouvoir les sciences de la Terre. Le RCEG parraine six programmes principaux dont Faire carriere en geo-sciences, Geonet, Ateliers EdGEO, Friends of Canadian Geoheritage , Geopanorama du Canada, et What on Earth .

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
