Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study examined whether the degree of parental experience with preschool services predicts parental involvement during the transition to school by comparing parent involvement in kindergarten across three different types of school sites. The sites differed in the level of parents' experience with preschool services. The first type of site offered integrated, school-based preschool services as part of the Toronto First Duty (TFD) early childhood initiative; these programs foster parent involvement and provide parenting support. The second group included school sites with a single preschool program fostering parental involvement and providing support. The final group of school sites did not have preschool services. The results support the hypotheses that parents in the integrated services, TFD sites, were more likely to be engaged in school and have higher expectations for involvement and stronger feelings of efficacy. The results have implications for how parent involvement may influence children's outcomes in early childhood services and in the transition to school.

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.
