Subclaims¶

q2 i? Computer vision post-PD cluster 1 shared seven constructs with human vision post-PD cluster 1, an increase from one matching construct pre-PD, indicating teachers came to see computer vision as more similar to human vision. → Kurz 2026

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Comparison of pre- and post-PD dendrograms for the two elements shows the overlap between the most descriptive computer vision cluster and the most descriptive human vision cluster grew from one shared construct to seven (constructs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12). The authors interpret this as participants rating computer vision as more similar to human vision after PD.

"After PD, the computer vision post-PD cluster 1 became more similar to the human vision post-PD cluster 1. The computer vision post-PD cluster 1 contained some of the same constructs as the human vision post-PD cluster 1 (both contained: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12). This was an increase from one matching construct pre-PD to seven matching constructs post-PD."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• All computer vision cluster means increased post-PD and the most descriptive cluster became more detailed, indicating teachers viewed computer vision constructs as more descriptive after PD — related
• After a two-to-three-week computer vision professional development program, 13 of 18 (72%) of middle school teachers' computer vision constructs shifted clusters, which the authors read as restructured perceptions (pre/post, no comparison group) — a broader claim this one bears on
• Teachers' perceptions of human vision remained largely stable following computer vision PD, with only one construct (6%, n = 1) shifting clusters — related
• Teachers' construct for computer vision 'sensing the surroundings' was initially viewed as not descriptive of computer vision but became more descriptive after PD — related
• Individual computer vision constructs showed notable mean increases and cluster shifts, including sensing the surroundings (26% increase, cluster 4 to 2) and able to detect objects (18% increase, cluster 3 to 1) — related
