Connecting Librarians and Faculty to Enhance Student Research Through Visual Mapping and Dialogue
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Five graduate students in education were videotaped while drawing a visual representation of and verbally describing their thesis topic. Dialogue among the faculty supervisor, librarian, and student followed and the map was further developed. Comparison between individual and collaborative maps revealed how faculty-librarian prompts extended and enriched students’ conceptualization of the research process and its underlying themes.Cinq étudiants des cycles supérieurs en Éducation ont été filmés en train de dessiner une représentation visuelle de leur sujet de thèse tout en le décrivant verbalement. Suite à un dialogue entre le directeur de thèse, le bibliothécaire et l'étudiant, le plan mis au point a été encore développé. Une comparaison entre les plans individuels et les plans mis au point collectivement a révélé combien les suggestions du professeur et du bibliothécaire ont permis d’étendre et d’enrichir les conceptualisations par les étudiants de leurs processus de recherche et des thèmes sous-jacents.

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.
