Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article presents the qualitative complement to Pizarro Milian and Zarifa’s (2021) analysis of Canadian quantitative research on student transfer and mobility. Drawing on 75 qualitative peer-reviewed articles and institutional reports published between 1991 and 2022, we summarize the main findings and outline the data and methodological gaps in the literature. To strengthen the rigour and broaden the applicability of Canadian qualitative research on student mobility, we emphasize the need to employ a variety of methodological strategies, including multi-site, comparative, and longitudinal qualitative research.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
