Summary: This study contributes to the debate on scientific progress in philosophy of science by empirically testing different philosophical accounts using a quantitative, corpus-based approach. The results suggest that practicing scientists tend to use the terms 'knowledge' and 'understanding' more frequently than 'truth' when discussing the aims or goals of scientific research in their published works. However, there is no significant difference between the frequency of using 'knowledge' and 'understanding', indicating that both epistemic and noetic accounts are supported over the semantic account.

Summary: This mixed methods study investigates the relationship between practice-based pedagogies of teacher education and teachers' subsequent classroom practice. The quantitative findings show that longer episodes of decomposition in teacher coaching sessions predict teachers' growth in observation protocol scores. The qualitative analyses reveal that longer episodes of decomposition involve opportunities for teacher learners to participate in the process. These findings have significant implications for instructional coaches, teacher educators, and future research.

Summary: Modern epidemiological analyses rely on access to and use of data, but the rapidly evolving nature of data and the imprecise identification of data use present challenges. This article introduces a data pipeline tool that allows for the annotation of data during analysis and the tracing of scientific outputs back to primary data, enhancing transparency and trust in decision-making.

Summary: The complex challenges of the 21st Century require professionals capable of conducting scientific research. Traditional empiricist epistemologies may not adequately foster deep conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking skills, while constructivist epistemologies offer better guidance for promoting research skills. Teachers adopting constructivist learning theories in practice do not necessarily embrace constructivist epistemologies.

Summary: Scientific integrity is a new theory of science morality that seeks to develop common moral frameworks for scientific practices, especially in medicine and biology. The moral values and standards in these fields can change due to societal changes and pressures, and a new teleological ethical theory may be needed to address these tensions.

Summary: Management researchers and practitioners struggle to communicate effectively, with interactive management education playing a key role in bridging the gap. Understanding the reasons for the divergence in interests between researchers and practitioners, and rapidly disseminating new knowledge through education and teaching practice, are crucial for overcoming the dissonance in the academic field.

Summary: The philosophy of science has shifted towards analyzing the real-world scientific practice, such as modeling and experimentation, rather than focusing solely on the logical structure of theories. Recent work has explored how incorporating ideas from niche construction theory and ecological and enactive views can enhance the understanding of science as a natural phenomenon. This article proposes a comprehensive view of science, scientific practice, and scientific knowledge in terms of ecological-enactive co-construction, emphasizing the connection between mind, science and nature.

Summary: The pivot to remote and hybrid learning during the Covid-19 pandemic presented a challenge for academia, and instructor communities of practice proved to be valuable in meeting the instructional demands. Tiny Earth, an international network of instructors and students, created working groups to form focused communities of practice and developed remote learning activities and resources. The community structure of Tiny Earth allowed instructors to adapt their course materials while maintaining the student CURE experience.

Summary: This paper describes how a community of microbiology instructors quickly integrated anti-racist content and shifted to an online format. The effort strengthened the teaching community and brought about collective change in classrooms nationwide. By incorporating anti-racist, just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive principles into course design, instructors can create learning environments that counter historically oppressive systems.
