q2 · i? · causal · r1

Analysis of the human vision dendrograms in the same pre/post repertory grid study shows only one construct shift: Construct 17 (using data) moved from cluster 2 to cluster 1. The authors state "This was the only construct shift in relation to human vision," supporting the stability of human vision perceptions.

"In the pre-PD dendrogram, Human vision can be described as…using data (Construct 17) moved from cluster 2 to cluster 1. Participants viewed this as more descriptive of human vision after PD. This was the only construct shift in relation to human vision."

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) — related
• After PD, teachers rated computer vision as more similar to human vision, with computer vision cluster 1 matching human vision cluster 1 on seven constructs post-PD versus one pre-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
• Teachers' construct for computer vision 'sensing the surroundings' was initially viewed as not descriptive of computer vision but became more descriptive after PD — related
