Transnational governance schemes (TGSs) are interorganizational networks of public and/or private actors that jointly regulate global public policy issues, such as the prevention of human rights violations and the protection of ecosystems. Considering that TGSs mainly address issues of public concern, the general public represents a major source of legitimacy in transnational governance. We the...

In the mid-1960s, a group of scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led by Cyrus Levinthal, took hold of one of the early interactive graphics terminals and used it to visualize, study and model the structure of proteins and nucleic acids. From this encounter between cutting-edge computer technology and molecular biology emerged the crucial elements for the development of a resear...

In previous studies we compared the effectiveness of three pedagogical approaches on the acquisition and robust understanding of the control of variables strategy (CVS). In our first study, Sao Pedro, Gobert, Heffernan & Beck (2009), we showed that at immediate posttest, two direct learning conditions, with and without explanation, significantly outperformed a discovery learning condition in re...
