Prior to beginning this journal entry, read “The Development of
Expertise in Performance: The Role of Memory, Knowledge, Learning, and
Practice” and “Transitions and the Development of Expertise,” as well
as review all other required resources. It is important for you to have
already completed your initial post in the “Learning Trends” discussion
before you compose this journal entry.
Part 1: As you were reading this week, what
vocabulary was used that was unfamiliar to you or might be to your
peers? Identify three to five words from this week’s content and
research each word in the context of learning and cognition. Explain,
in your own words, what each word means and how it is used in the
context of learning and cognition.
Part 2: Based on the week’s discourse and
content, you will access the Ashford University Library and research
one scholarly article pertaining to expertise that was published within
the last 10 years. Provide a summary explanation of the findings on
“expertise” in the context of your article. What implications should
scholars consider based on this information? Support your explanation
utilizing this week’s resources and your researched article.
Part 3: Consider the events from the past
week of your life. How does expertise, or the perception of it, affect
our behaviors, actions, and knowledge development? Describe one personal
real-life example of an occurrence that supports the implications of
actual expertise, or the perception of it, on our behaviors and actions
toward others. As you share this information, consider and apply the
professional standards found in “12.06 Anonymity of Sources”found in
the AERA Code of Ethics.
Part 4: Review “Principle A: Professional Competence” in the AERA Code of Ethics.
What implications should be considered in your scholarly writing and
observations? How might you check for competence of the research in
articles and research studies you read? Explain the public impression(s)
and misconception(s) that can occur when secular articles or studies
(e.g., Yahoo survey results, newspaper reports) are used instead of
findings from peer-reviewed sources.
Each journal entry should be 400 to 700 words in length and
should establish your understanding of the content, apply appropriate
methods of ethical practices, and exhibit appropriate scaffolding of
personal experience to the week’s content.
