Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract For decades experts have called for improving equity in science education regarding sex, gender, and reproduction, with little large‐scale change. To identify potential approaches to change, we convened an interdisciplinary group of biologists, education researchers, and gender and science studies scholars. Our conversations revealed a fundamental need to work across multiple scales, including change within life science classes and simultaneously at larger culture and systems scales in the life sciences and society as a whole. We used the multiple‐loop learning framework to explore solutions across scales: Single‐loop learning is change within existing structures, such as addressing terminology used in teaching; double‐loop learning engages with why a problem exists, such as incorporating the history and philosophy of science into life sciences education; triple‐loop learning questions underlying assumptions, such as shifting life science's culture and norms to value interdisciplinarity; and quadruple‐loop learning involves societal‐level changes, such as working across communities and social change. We argue that cultural changes in the values and norms in the life sciences, educational institutions, and society more broadly are essential for lasting transformation.

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.
