Abstract

Characterizations of novice and expert performance in terms of explicit, conscious rule-following versus automatic, intuitive skill-based performance are too narrow and misleading. Both novice and expert performance include skill-, rule- and knowledge-based performance, and the development from novice to expert should be modelled as different contents in and integrations of the skill-, rule- and knowledge levels. This point of view has important consequences for instruction and training which are emphasized through the terms 'pre novice' and 'reflective expert' pointing to the multifaceted content of both novice and expert performance
