Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The present study compared learning gains at both form recall and meaning recall levels across three learning conditions: viewing without note‐taking, viewing with conventional note‐taking, and viewing with guided note‐taking. A total of 134 Chinese learners of English were assigned to three experimental groups and a no‐treatment control group. Results showed that (a) guided note‐taking contributed to greater vocabulary learning than conventional note‐taking on the form recall test, (b) both guided and conventional note‐taking contributed to significant vocabulary gains on the meaning recall test, and (c) viewing without note‐taking did not contribute to significant learning gains. The analyses also revealed that writing unknown words in notes, the inclusion of target words in the lecture slides, and learners’ prior vocabulary knowledge affected learning, but frequency of occurrence, word length, and learners’ level of viewing comprehension did not.

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.
