The learner grasps the situation and understand what needs to be accomplished beyond rules, guidelines, and maxims. Use case studies to stimulate critical thinking especially in situations with principles or rule that are contradictory. maxims) that provide directions to see a situation as a whole. The learner performs by using pieces evidence (i.e. Offer inservice education or opportunities The learner has been on the job two or three years and is able to see actions in terms of goals or plans and works in an efficient and organized manner. Increase assistance and support in setting priorities to clients’ needs by providing guidelines for recognizing patterns The learner has enough real-world situations that the recurrent component is easily identified when it is related to rules and guidelines. Teach simple, objective concepts/attributes that are easily identified The learner has had no previous experience making them struggle to decide which tasks are most relevant to accomplish. Potential strategies for skills and knowledge acquisition Instead, learners may move from one stage to another repeatedly as they learn new knowledge and skills.
Accordingly, learners do not necessarily move systematically from one stage to the other and ultimately develop competency in certain skills. Proceeding from novice to expert is a circular, rather than linear process, not linear.
Inasmuch as the theory has been found to be relevant for nursology, it can be considered a shared theory.Īs can be seen in the Table, Benner (1982, 1984) proposed that as learners attempt to develop competency, they move through five stages– Novice, Advanced beginner, Competent, Proficient and Expert. Benner’s theory was derived from the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition, and drew from knowledge of engineering and philosophy. The theory has been applicable to a broad variety of situations, including nursing education, retention of graduate nurses, and nursing management and administration. Benner’s Novice to Expert Theory presents a systematic way of understanding how a learner whether a student, new or seasoned nurse develops skills and understanding of a practice situation/event over time.
