Moreover, the IBG itself can hardly be explained by observable household data characteristics. While we do find some similarities in explanatory variables affecting both intentions and implementations, these variables provide only little insights into the actual levels of implemented actions. In line with regret theory, the IBG in our data can be partly explained by anticipated regret caused by a feeling of having invested in vain in cases where adaptation measures are installed, but extreme weather events do not occur for the time being.

It also investigates what knowledge farmers require on digitalised farms and how they acquire it. Dairy farming was used as domain of investigation since it, unlike other industries, has strongly been affected by digitalisation throughout the last years. Method: Exploratory interviews with 10 livestock farmers working on digitalised dairy farms were analysed using qualitative content analysis. A deductive and inductive coding strategy was used. Findings: Farming work has changed from more manual tasks towards symbol manipulation and data processing. Farmers must be able to use computers and other digital devices to retrieve and analyse sensor data that allow them to monitor and control the processes on their farm. For this new kind of work, farmers require elaborated mental models that link traditional farming knowledge with knowledge about digital systems, including a strong understanding of production processes underlying their farm. Learning is mostly based on instructions offered by manufacturers of the new technology as well as informal and non-formal learning modes. Even younger farmers report that digital technology was not sufficiently covered in their (vocational) degrees. In general, farmers emphasises the positive effects of digitalisation both on their working as well as private life. Conclusions: Farmers should be aware of the opportunities as well as the potential drawbacks of the digitalisation of work processes in agriculture. Providers of agricultural education (like vocational schools or training institutes) need to incorporate the knowledge and skills required to work in digitalised environments (e.g., data literacy) in their syllabi. Further studies are required to assess how digitalisation changes farming practices and what knowledge as well as skills linked to these developments are required in the future.}}, author = {{Goller, Michael and Caruso, Carina and Harteis, Christian}}, issn = {{2197-8646}}, journal = {{International Journal for Research in Vocational Education and Training}}, keywords = {{Work-Based Learning, Organisational Change, Digital Competences, Qualitative Research, Digitalisation, Farming, Dairy, VET, Vocational Education and Training}}, number = {{2}}, pages = {{208–223}}, title = {{{Digitalisation in Agriculture: Knowledge and Learning Requirements of German Dairy Farmers}}}, doi = {{10.13152/IJRVET.8.2.4.}}, volume = {{8}}, year = {{2021}}, } @inbook{35464, abstract = {{The digital transformation of organizations in the industrial sector is primarily driven by the opportunity to increase productivity while simultaneously reducing costs through integration into a cyber-physical system.

The vision of representing humans by digital twins primarily aims at increasing economic benefits. The digital twin of a human, however, cannot be designed in a similar way to that of a machine. The human digital twin shall rather enable humans to act within the cyber-physical system. It therefore offers humans a power of control and the opportunity to provide feedback. The concept of the digital twin is still in its infancy and raises many questions in particular from an educational perspective. The contribution aims at answering the following questions and refers to the example of team learning: Which and how much data should and may the digital twin contain in order to support humans in their learning? To what extent will humans be able to control and design their own learning? How may skills, experiences, and social interactions of humans be represented in the digital twin; their growth and further development, respectively?

It is connected to art, music, dancing, etc., but there is just little insight into the role of creativity in science. As data analysis plays a major role in science, creative thinking has to be used to form theories out of observations. This study uses models-of-data to represent the mental model of the students. Within models-of-data different observations and previous knowledge are linked through different types of links, e.g. causal links. The goal of this study was to examine the creative aspect of data evaluation in presence of anomalous data. The students were confronted with two experiments which contradicted each other with regard to the underlying theory. Afterwards the students were asked to decide about their favored theory and reasoning about their choice in their lab reports. The model-of-data, which was reconstructed from the lab reports of the students, was used to extract creative aspects in the mental modelling process. Furthermore, a pre-post-questionnaire on epistemological beliefs of the students was conducted. Students mostly acquired an unscientific view on epistemology in school. The question was whether the confrontation with anomalous data and the triggering of creative modelling processes have any influence on this. The results show that most students did not take anomalous data into account in their modelling processes. They did either not recognise or just ignore the data. Just a few students worked on their theory because of the new, contradictory data. The students working on their theory scored higher in the post-questionnaire, so a positive effect of creativity on scientific epistemology can be assumed. Thus, creativity obviously gets a part of science and should be taught in school science in order to make students aware of their own creative potential.}}, author = {{Pollmeier, Pascal and Fechner, Sabine}}, booktitle = {{The beauty and pleasure of understanding: engaging with contemporary challenges through science education.

These order reversals have led to the hypothesis that 'lag 1 sparing' occurs because the two targets merge into a single episodic representation. Here, we report evidence consistent with an alternative theory: T2 receives more attention than T1, leading to prior entry into working memory. Two experiments showed that the more T2 performance exceeded that for T1, the more order reversals were made. Furthermore, precuing T1 led to a shift in performance benefits from T2 to T1 and to an equivalent reduction in order reversals.
