The inquiry network: A model for promoting the teaching-research nexus in higher education
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We describe how our teaching and learning centre developed a model, founded on Boyer’s notion of scholarship, to explore the nature of the teaching–research nexus. At the core of this model is the Inquiry Network, a faculty learning community whose members moved from exploring the links between their own teaching and research to creating institution-wide resources to promote student learning. Working together, the members of the community developed a framework for learning outcomes that instructors can use in coursework to cultivate students’ understanding of research and scholarship, regardless of discipline, academic level, or class size. The article recounts the process that led to the creation of the framework, and it considers the effectiveness of the process and the framework as a model for educational development and institutional change at a research-intensive university.
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 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.
