Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The development of creative and critical thinking is seen as an encouragement to independent and student-centred learning. But what exactly do we mean when we talk about creative and critical thinking? When and why did these terms come into prominence in modern education? This paper will compare and consider some of the diverse but not universally agreed definitions of these widely used terms. The language and literature classroom will be offered as an example in order to demonstrate ways of putting these approaches into practice. Finally the paper will close with a discussion of the application of critical and creative thinking in the Hong Kong context.

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.
