Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Science and technology education has been taught as a neutral and technical subject in, abstract, contextless ways. This state of affairs is not tenable, especially for one who is aware of the controversies surrounding the uses and abuses of science. In this paper, I argue that environmental education should be a topic that science educators teach, and review some of the obstacles and challenges surrounding socially responsible (science) education, with environmental education as an example. Place based education is proposed as a means through which some of these challenges can be faced; and I conclude with some general comments about education.

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.
