Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article is based on a critical ethnography study conducted in a continuing education department of a cégep in the Montreal area (Québec). The main objective of the research was to describe and analyze educational practices in this specific educational setting. To understand the conditions under which those practices are carried out, the study describes the life pathways of those adult students and the effect it has on them years after their graduation. The current paper presents some of the results obtained. Those results lead us to propose a theoretical foundation for transformative learning theory based on the concept of recognition. Moreover, this article invites scholars to study TVET and other education institutions as social justice institutions that must ensure the conditions of possibility for social justice.

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.
