Abstract
Journalism education can prompt young people to ask critical questions about their school and civic environments. The National Academy of Education (NAEd) recently released a report called Educating for Civic Reasoning and Discourse , in which they issue a call for educators to teach civic reasoning skills. This qualitative research study investigates an original multimedia journalism curriculum in a Grade 10 New Media course in British Columbia, Canada and explores students’ participation in civic reasoning practices. This curriculum was implemented three times between 2021 and 2022. Thirty-one students between 15 and 19 years old participated in the study. Three elements of civic reasoning are analyzed within students’ journalism stories: revising assumptions, moral resistance, and identifying the collective “we.” Participants’ journalism stories illuminate opportunities and tensions for civic reasoning pedagogy, including how to entertain multiple perspectives while still enacting moral resistance to harmful narratives.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
