The extent and nature of parental support and involvement with children participating in a community service project in Windsor/Essex County: The Kid's Alliance Project (Ontario).
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This exploratory descriptive study reports survey data from a sample of 40 parents whose adolescent children (ages 12--14) participated in a service learning project, the Kids Alliance Project (KAP) in Windsor, Ontario. It sought to determine how parents supported their children in this school based community initiative and explored factors associated with parental involvement. These were social support, family coping, family problem solving, parental satisfaction and attitude toward service. Main findings indicated that the sample mirrored resilient parents as noted in the literature. They held positive attitudes toward service, and reported positive support and coping abilities. They were also slightly better educated than their neighbours. Most were employed. They supported their children more indirectly than directly. When parents were separated into high and low parental involvement groups, a discriminant function analysis using seven variables led to a high degree of accurate classification. Specifically, the analyses were able to correctly classify 80% of the parents when examining overall parental involvement and 85% of the parent when examining direct parental involvement. This study lays groundwork for further research in this area. Paper copy at Leddy Library: Theses & Major Papers - Basement, West Bldg. / Call Number: Thesis2002 .H65.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
