Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

‘Love of learning’ is a phrase that appears frequently in school mission statements, among others with similar connotations. Using ‘Love of learning’ as a case, I employ comparative conceptual analysis to characterize the value underlying the phrase before reviewing the implications this holds for practice in schools that use the phrase in their mission statements. I argue ‘Love of learning’ refers to a distinct, intrinsically valuable phenomenon that implies a particular type of learning experience. A commitment to fostering ‘love of learning’ at school would require developing environments conducive to each student having this particular learning experience. This carries implications for practice, particularly in schools that include fostering ‘love of learning’ in their mission statements. As a case, the conceptual analysis of ‘love of learning’ presented here demonstrates the need to review mission statements to assess whether values conveyed therein align with institutional practices.

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.
