Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract: Based on concrete examples, the authors demonstrate the gap between research and educational policy in Québec. Educational choices are too often based on ideological fads, even though intellectual, economic and ethical reasons point to the need for rigorous evidence-based strategies, specifically for prior testing and systematic evaluations during and after policy implementation. This article focuses on the wealth and relevance of research needed for developing sound educational policy — policy that avoids the pitfalls of demagogy and common sense and does not leave the achievement of results and their interpretation to chance.

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.
