Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There has been much discussion in recent years, in both general education and language teacher education, about the need to reconceptualize teacher education in line with contemporary constructivist and cognitivist thinking about how teachers learn how to teach, and what skills and knowledge they need to become effective teachers. It is becoming increasingly common for language teacher education programmes around the world to follow a “reflective,” “inquiry-based” approach to teacher learning. Nevertheless, many such programmes, both pre-service and in-service, have so far been unable to satisfactorily rectify the tensions between theory and practice, as well as between what is taught on the programme and the realities which many practising teachers face in their daily teaching. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

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.
