Combining the Knowledge Appropriation Model and epistemic networks to understand co-creation and adoption of learning designs using log data

Denis Gillet, Maria Jesus Rodriguez Triana

Social practices are well-known mediators in the adoption of educational innovations during professional learning, as postulated by the Knowledge Appropriation Model (KAM). However, understanding how teachers adopt new pedagogical approaches at scale is of ...

Studying Linguistic Changes over 200 Years of Newspapers through Resilient Words Analysis

Frédéric Kaplan, Cyril Antoine Michel Bornet, Vincent Christian Buntinx

This paper presents a methodology to analyze linguistic changes in a given textual corpus allowing to overcome two common problems related to corpus linguistics studies. One of these issues is the monotonic increase of the corpus size with time, and the ot ...

Contextualizing the co-creation of artefacts within the nested social structure of a collaborative MOOC

Pierre Dillenbourg, Kshitij Sharma, Stian Haklev

MOOCs have traditionally been seen as providing an individual learning experience, however there is an increasing trend towards enabling social learning in MOOCs. To make online learning at scale more social and collaborative, some MOOCs have introduced co ...

KRAB zinc-finger proteins contribute to the evolution of gene regulatory networks

Didier Trono, Michaël Imbeault, Pierre-Yves Joseph Laurent Helleboid

The human genome encodes some 350 Kruppel-associated box (KRAB) domain-containing zinc-finger proteins (KZFPs), the products of a rapidly evolving gene family that has been traced back to early tetrapods(1,2). The function of most KZFPs is unknown, but a f ...

Soil protistology rebooted: 30 fundamental questions to start with

Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Enrique Lara

Protists are the most diverse eukaryotes. These microbes are keystone organisms of soil ecosystems and regulate essential processes of soil fertility such as nutrient cycling and plant growth. Despite this, protists have received little scientific attentio ...

Distinguishing knowledge integration gains in evolution education through concept map network analysis

Beat Adrian Schwendimann

Understanding how evolutionary changes happen requires connecting genotype and phenotype level concepts. This study uses a form of concept map, called Knowledge Integration Map (KIM), as a learning and assessment tool to support and assess connecting conce ...

Comparing two forms of concept map critique activities to facilitate knowledge integration processes in evolution education

Beat Adrian Schwendimann

Concept map activities often lack a subsequent revision step that facilitates knowledge integration. This study compares two collaborative critique activities using a Knowledge Integration Map (KIM), a form of concept map. Four classes of high school biolo ...

Optimization of Conformational Dynamics in an Epistatic Evolutionary Trajectory

Luciano Andres Abriata

The understanding of protein evolution depends on the ability to relate the impact of mutations on molecular traits to organismal fitness. Biological activity and robustness have been regarded as important features in shaping protein evolutionary landscape ...

Observations, theory, and modeling of the differential accumulation of Antarctic megadunes

Michael Lehning

Antarctic megadunes are characterized by significant spatial differences in accumulation rate, with higher accumulation on the windward side and near-zero accumulation on the lee side. This leads to spatial differences in physical properties of snow and su ...

Service Systems and Value Modeling from an Appreciative System Perspective

Alain Wegmann, Gil Regev

Since its inception Service Science has created a substantial body of knowledge about services and their provision. Most notably, the concept of Service System was defined in order to describe the co-creation of value by the service provider and customer. ...

Time evolution of correlations in strongly interacting fermions after a quantum quench

Using the adaptive time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group, we study the time evolution of density correlations of interacting spinless fermions on a one-dimensional lattice after a sudden change in the interaction strength. Over a broad range ...
