‘A teacher by day and a performer by night’: performer-educator identity tensions in a graduate community of practice course
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article explores how participation in a community of practice course aided negotiation between performer-educator identities among graduate students professionally active as studio teachers. Studio teachers may face isolation due to limited opportunities for professional development and the secluded nature of one-on-one instruction, and overemphasis on vertical knowledge transmission within a master-apprentice model. Often engaged in performing and teaching as part of a broader, portfolio career, studio teachers may face tensions between their performer-educator identities. These tensions in identity may be mitigated through participation in a community of practice. Using a qualitative case study methodology, researchers used questionnaires, reflective assignments, interviews, and non-participant observations to investigate the experiences of 6 participants enrolled in a one-semester graduate course. Themes include the impact of participation in a community of practice, tensions in identity, and alleviation of tensions between identities.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
