Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Activism, because of its orientation toward collective motives, offers great opportunities for allowing children and students not only to learn science and technology but also to become lifelong learners concerned with their eco-social and political environment. However, activists may make the experience less enjoyable and rewarding when they teach in the school mode or when their teaching is subordinated to schooling. Traditional turn-taking patterns to elicit and test for knowledge are then employed to assure that production and reproduction of right answers. In this article I exemplify and theorize modes of teaching that are differently appreciated by the students who interact with activists. I conclude suggesting to activists to draw on the opportunities that their activism provides to engagement and collateral learning and to stay away from the reproduction of school knowledge, which coincidentally is a reproduction of the status quo and the inequitable societal structures that come with it.

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.
