Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Some students at my alternative secondary school have had a long-term dislike of mathematics that has negatively affected their attendance, progress, marks, and engagement throughout most of their experiences in mathematics courses. I have noticed that many of these same students have been enthusiastically involved in artistic endeavours, especially in art therapy classes and graffiti artwork projects. In consideration of those factors, the purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of using visual journals in secondary mathematics classroom (Grades 8 – 10) composed of reluctant and discouraged learners. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
