KiP is an epistemological perspective that models processes of conceptual change with high
conceptual and temporal resolution. Individual knowledge is modeled in KiP as a complex
knowledge system that interacts with the environment (people and artifacts). Knowledge
systems are considered to be made up of numerous elements of knowledge each of which is
not thought of as intrinsically right or wrong, but as productive or not for a particular context.
In line with Piagetian constructivism (e.g., von-Glasersfeld, 1996, pp. 53–75), it is assumed
that different contexts or different aspects of a single situation can be interpreted through
different combinations of knowledge resources (i.e., schemas). Hence, their lack of
systematicity can prevent learners from noticing contradictions, and their context sensitivity
can impede individuals from seeing similarities. Successful learning is reflected in the
systematization of this complex system which involves the reorganization and recontextualization
