Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Many TESOL teacher educators, teachers, students, and administrators assume that once novice TESOL teachers have graduated they will be able to apply what they have learned in the teacher preparation program during their first year of teaching. However, the transition from the teacher education program to the first year of teaching has been characterized as a type of “reality shock” because of the collapse of the missionary ideals formed during teacher training, caused by the harsh and rude reality of classroom life and by the realities of the social and political contexts of the school. This reality shock is often aggravated because novice teachers have not one, but two complex jobs during these years: teaching effectively and learning to teach. Thus, during the transition from training to teaching, novice teachers must be able to construct and reconstruct new knowledge and theory through participating in specific social contexts and engaging in particular types of activities and processes. This being so, novice TESOL teachers have special needs and interests that are different from their more experienced colleagues.

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.
