Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper, we discuss the potential role of podcasting as a mainstream element of action research work and dissemination. Pulling from debates in qualitative and action research literatures about epistemology, voice, and participation, we make the case that podcasting, despite many possible challenges because of its possibilities for misinformation, can add innovative contributions to the field that push the epistemological boundaries of research dissemination. We conclude with a conversation on fostering consensus about how to create collaborative processes for informative, trustworthy, and useful podcasts in action research.

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.
