Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract: This paper presents the results from a qualitative study that analyzed online comments as an instance of public opinion related to proposed government amendments to the regulations of the Oath of Citizenship. Over six hundred comments submitted to the Canada Gazette web site from February to March 2023 were examined with a text analysis software to identify if the online comments were reflective of specific experiences of the individuals submitting their opinions, or if they were more general and connected to broader political themes. The analysis also looked to uncover any proposals across groups with distinct positions about the regulations that could build a consensus about this public policy related to the Oath of Citizenship process. Résumé: Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude qualitative qui a analysé les commentaires en ligne comme un exemple de l’opinion publique liée aux modifications proposées par le gouvernement aux règlements du serment de citoyenneté. Plus de 600 commentaires soumis sur le site Web de la Gazette du Canada de février à mars 2023 ont été examinés à l’aide d’un logiciel d’analyse de texte afin d’identifier si les commentaires en ligne reflétaient les expériences spécifiques des personnes soumettant leurs opinions, ou s’ils étaient plus généraux et liés à des thèmes politiques plus larges. L’analyse cherche également à découvrir toute proposition de groupes ayant des positions distinctes sur la réglementation qui pourrait construire un consensus sur cette politique publique liée au processus de serment de citoyenneté.

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.
