chapter 2 How Experts Differ from Novices
I quoted this from page 19. It is talking about the differences between expert and novice:We consider several key principles of experts' knowledge and their potential implications for learning and instruction:
1. | Experts notice features and meaningful patterns of information that are not noticed by novices. |
2. | Experts have acquired a great deal of content knowledge that is organized in ways that reflect a deep understanding of their subject matter. |
3. | Experts' knowledge cannot be reduced to sets of isolated facts or propositions but, instead, reflects contexts of applicability: that is, the knowledge is ''conditionalized" on a set of circumstances. |
4. | Experts are able to flexibly retrieve important aspects of their knowledge with little attentional effort. |
5. | Though experts know their disciplines thoroughly, this does not guarantee that they are able to teach others. |
6. | Experts have varying levels of flexibility in their approach to new situations. |
