Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Using teacher-led research practices during a unique set of teaching circumstances, this paper offers insight into teachers’ shifting and evolving pedagogies, demonstrating through shifting metaphors, and elicited through arts-based research. This study investigated pandemic classroom site pivots and provides a robust and multimodal framework for understanding elementary teachers’ evolving pedagogies. This case study research is situated within an inquiry-based action research cycle and highlights the impact of pandemic conditions on teachers’ practices. including insight and guidance for pedagogical change over a range of sociopolitical and systemic shifts in teaching contexts. Our study focused on how our teacher-led inquiry, framed as a community of practice, built teachers’ voices and reflective practices. Our research group used both teacher-created metaphors and arts-based practices as a lens into teachers’ shifting pedagogies and practices. Developing pedagogies and teacher identities were articulated through processes whereby teachers learned together while teaching under pandemic restrictions, and to nimbly shift from online to in-person teaching and back again, discovering how their evolving identities enhanced the diversity of children’s voices in the classroom.

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.
