Organisms represented by the root of universal evolutionary tree were most likely complex cells with a sophisticated protein translation system and DNA genome encoding hundreds genes. The growth bioinformatics data from taxonomically diverse organisms has made it possible to infer properties early life in greater detail. Here we present LUCApedia, (http://eeb.princeton.edu/lucapedia), unified framework for simultaneously evaluating multiple sets related Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA)...
Background: In 2008, Grossman and McDonald called for the development of a common language “core practices” describing practice teaching. They argued that shared would help teacher educators teachers work together on develop nuanced, complex, conceptualizations instruction. Purpose: This article interrogates claim core practices promote by investigating practice-based professional (PD) program project-based learning (PBL). Within PD program, we study how teachers’ high-quality teaching...
This article examines how teachers at one elementary school made sense of their instructional practice after adopted a personalized learning platform for teaching mathematics. Data includes interviews (n = 21) with 12 and administrators as well recordings 18 hours professional sessions. The study investigates teachers' perceptions shifted interactions students became increasingly mediated by platforms. Findings illuminate platformization invited digitally surveillance into the classroom this...
The origins of life on the Earth required chemical entities to interact with their environments in ways that could respond natural selection. concept interpretation, where biotic use signs environment as proxy for existence other items selective value environment, has been proposed theoretical grounds be relevant and early evolution life. However this not demonstrated empirically. Here, we present data certain catalytic RNA sequences have properties would enable interpretation divalent...
While states are increasingly adopting and implementing the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as goalposts for student learning, there is less clear consensus around science instruction needed in classrooms to realize this vision. In study, I investigate visions of expertise that three teacher educators (TEs) hold who work a university, public district's residency, charter school's new Graduate School Education (nGSE). Through analyzing interviews well artifacts their institution's...
