I heard a clever paradigm, that adult learning progresses through the
following levels:
- Unconcious Incompenence - I don't even know that I am incompetent in
something.
- Concious Incompenence - I am aware that I cannot do that soemthing.
- Concious Compenence - I strive to learn and develop competence.
However, I still am consiously aware of what I have learned as I
perform the task/skil.
- Unconcious Compenence - I perform the task/skill without even it
entering my conscious mind of exactly what or how I am doing it.
