Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract: This article examines the present state of the theoretical bases of program evaluation by applying key analytical criteria proposed by Kuhn and by Lakatos for the study of scientific disciplines. The study identifies the main theoretical and empirical components of the discipline, clarifies their interactions, and discusses their influence on the development of the discipline. The application of the analytical model leads to the acknowledgement that evaluation is currently at the third stage of development of the disciplines, scientific revolution, which assumes an upcoming change in the discipline’s dominant foundations. However, the structuring of knowledge, the relationship between theory and empirical research, and the epistemological schism prevailing in the social sciences contribute to keeping evaluation in a never-ending state of scientific revolution.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
