Skill acquisition models are frameworks that describe how individuals learn and develop new skills over time. These models often outline stages of learning, such as the initial phase where a learner is introduced to a skill, followed by practice and refinement. Commonly referenced models include the Fitts and Posner model, which identifies three stages: cognitive, associative, and autonomous. These models help educators and trainers design effective teaching strategies by understanding the learner's progression. By recognizing the different stages of skill acquisition, instructors can tailor their feedback and practice opportunities to enhance learning outcomes. This approach is applicable in various fields, including sports, music, and education.
