Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The evolution of machine learning and large language models (commonly referred to as “artificial intelligence” [AI]) presents both opportunities and challenges for teaching and learning across K–12 and higher education contexts globally. Among the most pressing concerns is that these tools can undermine the integrity of student assessment and evaluation systems. This article investigates this timely issue by examining the intersections between AI, academic integrity, and assessment innovations through a cross-national research synthesis, resulting in a novel model for educators, policymakers, and researchers. The proposed model promotes assessment policies and practices that support high integrity, authentic learning, and innovative student assessment in an era of generative AI.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
