A qualitative analysis ofthe research data reveals that children perceivetheir environment as a space that contributesto their learning and acts as a third teacher inthe classroom. In summary, the children in thisstudy described the specific ways they were ableto learn with the materials located within thecentres of their classroom, the ways they engagedin imaginative or pretend play, making real-lifeconnections and communicating with peers, andthe learning that developed through explorationof the documentation on the classroom walls.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
