Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

An emerging approach to teaching young people about sustainability is the use of immersive game spaces and virtual environments. This project focuses on children's virtual worlds with an environmental values orientation to examine the ways these worlds work as vehicles of sustainability literacy. These worlds position themselves explicitly as ethical and sustainable spaces, focusing on environmental responsibility and stewardship. Yet, they contain only a veneer of ecological thinking, rely heavily on consumerist logic, and provide mixed messages for young people about what it means to conserve and consume. We use the lenses of Value Sensitive Design (VSD) and Ecocriticism to interrogate these technologies, exploring how the discursive practices of these spaces support or constrain different visions of a sustainable world.

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.
