Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The article examines African women’s cultural knowledge of environmental education within a specific case study in rural Kenya. The paper indicates that rural women are connected to the land and the environment. The women have a vast knowledge of the environment, which we argue could be incorporated in our teaching to contribute to environmental education. The showns that some Embu women are in tune with their surroundings. The cosmology or belief system of the ancient people of Africa has a relevance to how many African communities, and especially Embu rural women understand and conceptualize ecosystems, environmental change and conservation today. We situate our arguments within ecofeminism theoretical framework.

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.
