Abstract
In our study, we investigated the psychometric properties of the Institutional Teaching Culture Perception Survey-Faculty (ITCPS-F), an instrument designed to measure faculty members’ beliefs about their post-secondary institutions’ teaching culture. Institutional teaching culture is the behaviours, beliefs, and common values related to teaching, and it influences both student learning and faculty motivation. We administered the survey to faculty at three Canadian universities and found that: (1) the survey has good to excellent internal consistency, (2) Exploratory Structural Equation Modelling confirmed the six-lever structure of the instrument, and (3) the lever scores were significantly and positively associated with student learning, as measured by a subscale of the Students’ Evaluations of Educational Quality and a student-focussed approach to teaching, as assessed by a subscale of the Approaches to Teaching Inventory . These findings support the reliability and validity of the ITCPS-F.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
