Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Health educators can be influenced by a multitude of learning factors that are shaped by informal, non-formal, and formal environments. The topic of breastfeeding provides an interesting context for this exploration, as it spans formal professionalization, on-the-job-training, and personal embodied experiences of women. This chapter links adult education theory to a research study that examined what, where, and how positive breastfeeding views were learned. Narrative inquiry with five women yielded stories that revealed how their perspectives were shaped by learning domains. Emergent themes indicate informal learning was pivotal in shaping both attitudes and knowledge. This suggests a need for health professionals to reflect on their experiences as these influence views and practices. Gaining a better understanding of breastfeeding advocates may equip us to address barriers, guide the professionalization of future practitioners, and support advocacy efforts for policies aimed at fostering supportive learning environments.

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.
