Poster Session - Transition Experienced by Parents of Adolescents Entering High School
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Transitions can have a profound impact on the person, their environment, and their occupations. It was thought that entering high school is a transition that has implications not only for the adolescent, but also for their family members.\nObjectives: To gain an in-depth understanding of the lived experiences of parents whose adolescent child has recently entered high school. Three questions guided the research:\n1. What is a parent’s lived experience with an adolescent child in transition?\n2. Do parents also experience a transition when their child is in transition?\n3. Is this transition compatible with the Model of Predictable Life Transition from an Occupation Perspective (MoPLT)?\nMethods: This descriptive phenomenological study used semi-structured interviews to collect data from 5 parents with a child in grade 8 public high schools in Vancouver, Canada and surrounding area. Recruitment was conducted through convenience sampling. Participants were all female, married, between the ages of 35 and 54, and with a range of household income levels. All participants had multiple children, and for four participants it was their eldest child transitioning to high school.\nFindings: Qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Four themes were developed that address the first research question: 1) Venturing into the Known and Unknown, 2) Collective Transition, 3) Negotiating Role Change, and 4) Redesigning Parent-Child Communication. All five participants reported experiencing a transition at the same time their adolescent child is transitioning to high school. Findings support compatibility with the Model of Predictable Life Transition (MoPLT).\nConclusion: Transitions create change and have the potential to disrupt occupation. A greater understanding from an occupation perspective of how people and groups adapt to life transition of one person is critical to understanding transition. This study highlights the theme of meaningful connections in the study of occupation, and contributes to a growing body of evidence on life transitions by exploring the impact of a predictable life transition on roles, routines, and occupations of parents with a child in his/her first year of high school.

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.
