Fostering a Global Imaginary: The Possibilities and Paradoxes of Japanese and Canadian Students’ Perceptions of the Responsibilities of World Citizenship
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article presents the results of a pilot study comparing how high-school students in Canada and Japan ( n=194) understand and imagine the responsibilities of ‘world citizenship.’ Analysis of the results of our study indicate that despite similarities in perceptions between students in the two nations, significant differences exist in how Japanese and Canadian students construct a global imaginary of citizenship – particularly in terms of the extent to which students have a hopeful attitude towards the future and view themselves as active participants in the resolution of global issues. These results suggest that educational policy makers in Canada and Japan currently involved in curriculum reform that emphasizes internationalization and intercultural dialogue, must be mindful of the possibilities and paradoxes inherent in attempts to foster a global imaginary of citizenship among their students.

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.
