Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Peer-instruction has been shown to be an effective method to support learning. We exploit a form of peer-instruction in an undergraduate course on databases, where students take an exam in teams. Instantly after attempting the exam individually without any immediate feedback, students re-take the exam as a group utilizing immediate feedback instruments. These instruments permit the students to tackle each multiple-choice question several times until a correct answer is uncovered. Our thesis is that this approach provides the students with an opportunity to learn from their mistakes, whether committed individually or as a group, while promoting individual student deep learning. We support this thesis by analyzing data collected from 125 students, 5 group exams, and other assessment instruments, including a final exam.

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.

Not 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.
