Spent most of the day in UP for Komikon and basking in nostalgia. Acacias in full bloom bring back memories.

Pragmatic Thinking and Learning by Andy Hunt In other words, I’m going to cheat again today. :P For today’s “lesson”, please read Keis’s notes on the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition.

One important thing to note about this model is that it’s not only useful for teaching — it’s actually applicable to almost all phases in the “life cycle” of an employee. The model can affect recruitment, training/initial deployment, up to promotion to senior positions. I will be referencing the model in this context after I discuss the various aspects of Drucker’s “knowledge worker”.
