Dreyfus Model
The Dreyfus Model is a framework that describes how individuals progress through five stages of skill acquisition: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert. Developed by brothers Stuart Dreyfus and Hubert Dreyfus, it emphasizes the transition from rule-based learning to intuitive decision-making as one gains experience.
In the model, each stage reflects a different level of understanding and capability. A novice relies on strict rules, while an expert can make complex decisions based on intuition and deep understanding. This model is widely used in various fields, including education and professional training, to guide skill development.
