  text: The article discusses the explanatory power of conceptual change for research
    on workplace learning in digitalized workplaces. Interestingly, research on conceptual
    change is well-established within the area of science education but widely neglected
    within the broad area of workplace learning research. Digitalization of work establishes
    new quality of tasks and tools by integrating workers and machines into digital
    networks. Hence, conceptual change can be considered a core concept for identifying
    workers’ successful adaption to digital transformation. Therefore, conceptual
    change research in the area of workplace learning in digitalized workplaces is
    highly relevant. The article reflects upon reasons, explores the potential of
    conceptual change for understanding workplace learning in digitalized workplaces,
    and illustrates the argumentation by exemplarily referring to digitalized farming.
    Finally, the article provides suggestions for future research.

  text: "Creativity is perceived to be one of the core competences to succeed in the
    modern world. It is\r\nconnected to art, music, dancing, etc., but there is just
    little insight into the role of creativity in\r\nscience. As data analysis plays
    a major role in science, creative thinking has to be used to form\r\ntheories
    out of observations. This study uses models-of-data to represent the mental model
    of\r\nthe students. Within models-of-data different observations and previous
    knowledge are linked\r\nthrough different types of links, e.g. causal links. The
    goal of this study was to examine the\r\ncreative aspect of data evaluation in
    presence of anomalous data. The students were confronted\r\nwith two experiments
    which contradicted each other with regard to the underlying theory.\r\nAfterwards
    the students were asked to decide about their favored theory and reasoning about\r\ntheir
    choice in their lab reports. The model-of-data, which was reconstructed from the
    lab\r\nreports of the students, was used to extract creative aspects in the mental
    modelling process.\r\nFurthermore, a pre-post-questionnaire on epistemological
    beliefs of the students was\r\nconducted. Students mostly acquired an unscientific
    view on epistemology in school. The\r\nquestion was whether the confrontation
    with anomalous data and the triggering of creative\r\nmodelling processes have
    any influence on this.\r\nThe results show that most students did not take anomalous
    data into account in their modelling\r\nprocesses. They did either not recognise
    or just ignore the data. Just a few students worked on\r\ntheir theory because
    of the new, contradictory data. The students working on their theory\r\nscored
    higher in the post-questionnaire, so a positive effect of creativity on scientific\r\nepistemology
    can be assumed. Thus, creativity obviously gets a part of science and should be\r\ntaught
    in school science in order to make students aware of their own creative potential."
