Experts and Experience

Posted on by

I’ve had this conversation before – with myself and others. As I read Chapter 6 in Daniel Willingham’s book Why Don’t Students Like School?, I’m having a flash to another time this topic has been the focus of my thinking. Before I continue with some insights from this chapter, I’ve revisited the information about expertise that I’ve previously explored:

Am I an Expert? September 11, 2015.

Evidence for ‘expert’ teaching, September 15, 2015.

The Expert Within, September 16, 2015.

These blog posts provide some insight into this topic and will be reviewed in more depth, when this topic becomes part of the course discussion in week seven. These blog posts include additional references that are relevant to the topic of expertise, as well as a Spanish translation, thanks to a friend in Chile.
