Writing ourselves into being: A review of the Canadian Journal for the Study of Adult Education/La Revue Canadianne pour l'Étude de l'Éducation des adultes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Examines and analyzes the 22-volume publication history of The Canadian Journal for the Study of Adult Education/la Revue canadianne pour l’étude de l’éducation des adultes (CJSAE/RCÉÉA). Three different approaches are applied: quantitative history of publication trends, e-mail interviews with five former editors, and analysis of Canadian Association for the Study of Adult Education (CASAE) documents relating to the journal. The author concludes that the journal has been shaped by different layers of expectations and influence, including three tensions of the United States vs. Canada, francophone vs. anglophone Canada, and east vs. west. Overall, the journal has contributed significantly to the formation of the academic field of adult education in Canada. Résumé Cet article examine et analyse l'historique en 22 volumes de la CJSAE/RCÉÉA. Trois approches différentes sont employées à cet effet: l’analyse quantitative des tendances historiques de publication, l’analyse qualitative d’entretiens effectués par email avec 5 anciens éditeurs, et l’étude de documents auxiliaires qui traitent de la revue, publiés par la CASAE/ACEEA. L’auteur conclut que la revue a été façonnée par des influences et attentes à des niveaux différents, comprenant, entre autres, trois tensions clés: la tension canado- américaine, la tension est-ouest et la tension anglophone- francophone. Dans l’ensemble, la revue a largement contribué à l’établissement du domaine de recherche sur l’éducation des adultes au Canada

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
