Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article attempts to address the question of failure or relative failure of the majority of education reforms from a historical perspective. After some initial clarifications of the terms “reform” and “failure,” recent contributions on the subject from the notions of “school culture” or “grammar of schooling” are set out as well as the possibilities, limitations and dangers in the use of these concepts. Finally, the main traits of the various cultures: those of the reformers and managers, scientists and experts and those of the teachers are analysed with the aim of integrating their differing conceptions and experience of education in the issue of the failure of education reforms and the wider question of change and innovation in education.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
