Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This qualitative study analyzes teacher perceptions on the use of technology in the elementary classroom. This study was completed in order to elicit the opinions about and implementation of technology in the classroom by in-service teachers, with previous literature highlighting self-efficacy, teacher training, influence of the principal, and perceived usefulness as key determining factors of technology use. This research study was conducted through two semi-structured interviews with two participants working for the Toronto District School Board. Upon finishing the interviews, they were transcribed, and then further coded into codes and themes. The major themes that arose from the interviews were preparedness, influence, and usefulness. Although previous literature stated that educators do not find a use for technology, both participants spoke very highly about technology and its place within education. Lastly, this study makes practical recommendations in order to remedy gaps in the field that were identified by the participants.

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.

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.
