Creating space for diverse design culture in first year studio
Bibliographic record
Abstract
At the onset of the pilot study, the authors collected a small sample of data on current teaching and learning practices at OCAD University with a focus on 'cultural diversity' within the studio classroom. The intent was to investigate the current state of 'cultural diversity' in studio practice seen from two perspectives: faculty and students. The first part of the study asked the question “What are the current efforts on the part of faculty and what, if any, are the design-specific-pedagogical approaches they use that relate to ‘cultural diversity’?” See the conference proceedings from NCBDS 2017 [http://ncbds.la-ab.com/33_Proceedings.pdf]. While faculty interviews uncovered predominant themes and levels of faculty engagement in relation to 'cultural diversity', the question arose as to whether or not students’ expectations and experiences aligned in similar ways. Therefore, this paper seeks to address the question, "What are student experiences and expectations in context to ‘cultural diversity’ with respect to their studio-based learning in first-year-design education?"

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
