Mon, April 12, 11:10am to 12:10pm EDT (11:10am to 12:10pm EDT), Division I, Division I Roundtable Sessions

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Stuart Dreyfus and Hubert Dreyfus (1980, 1988, 2004) developed their model of professional skill acquisition that illustrates growth over the course of a person’s career in a particular domain. The skill model highlights a learner’s movement across five levels of skill development: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert. This symposium will present examples of the application of the Dreyfus and Dreyfus model in different fields providing insight into how practitioners can develop their skills in their particular domains and how educators can promote this development. This presentation will be appropriate for a wide variety of teacher educators, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of adult and higher education.
