2. Key Finding 2
How People Learn - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu2
To develop competence in an area, students must:
a) have a deep foundation of factual knowledge,
b) understand facts and ideas in the context of a
conceptual framework, and
c) organize knowledge in ways that facilitate
retrieval and application.
(How People Learn,p 16.)
7. Colvin: Deliberate practice [2]
Developing Expertise - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu7
activity that’s explicitly intended to improve
performance
that reaches for objectives just beyond one’s level of
competence
provides feedback on results
involves high levels of repetition
8. How many of these do you think
are “deliberate practice”?
Developing Expertise - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu8
writing 30 minutes per day
running 5 miles a day, 5 days per week
playing the guitar for an hour after school each day
after moving to a new country, learning the
language by interacting with locals
A) 1 of them
B) 2
C) 3
D) all 4 of them

There’s something about this that bothers me:
A 5-foot-tall NBA star? Huh?
1. If it’s bothering me, it’s probably bothering some of
my students.
2. Maybe one of my students has a solution or explanation?
Their diversity is an asset!
3. How can I stimulate a conversation for everyone in
the classroom rather than the few who will raise
their hands?
10. What do you think?
With 10,000 hours of deliberate practice, a 5-ft tall man
can play basketball in the NBA.
A) true
B) false

11. Geoffrey Colvin [2]
Certainly some important traits are partly inherited, such as
physical size and particular measures of intelligence, but those
influence what a person doesn’t do more than what he does;a five-
footer will never be an NFL lineman, and a seven-footer will never
be an Olympic gymnast.
11 Developing Expertise - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu
12. Availability of resources & opportunities?
experts had / have access to resources and privilege not
available to novices
the high school basketball coach should not deny the
5-foot-tall student access to the gym, practice,
feedback
instructors must not make decisions about students
based on appearance. Every student needs opportunity
& support to succeed
12 Developing Expertise - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu
13. Intelligence is grown
Developing Expertise - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu13
Dr.Anders Ericcson – Florida State Univ.
Studies development of expertise (sports figures, pianists,
chess players).[3] Expertise is not an innate trait, it is
developed through
Long duration (10,000 hours)
Daily (4 hours a day)
Deliberate Practice
Dr. Carol Dweck – Stanford
Convincing people to adopt a “growth mindset” (not “fixed
mindset”) leads to higher GPAs, higher graduation rates.

Developing Expertise - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu27
How many windows?
As you counted the windows, did you see them
from the outside or from the inside of the house?
28. Think about the house you grew up in

How many windows?
As you counted the windows, did you see them
from the outside or from the inside of the house?
If a Stage 4 Professor of Window Counting is an
“outsider”, he thoughtfully creates lessons and practice for
counting from the outside. Many students will be lost.
A Stage 5 instructor knows there are other ways to count
windows and creates lessons where each student can connect
the concept to their own knowledge and skills.

29. Approach each critical task with an explicit goal of
getting much better at it.
As you do the task, focus on what’s happening and
why you’re doing it that way.
After the task, get feedback on your performance from
multiple sources. Make changes in your behavior as
necessary.
Continually build mental models of your situation:
your discipline, your research community, your career.
Enlarge the models to encompass more factors.
Do these steps regularly, not sporadically. Occasional
practice does not work.

37. Deliberate Practice: for you
Developing Expertise - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu37
Reach for objectives JUST beyond where you are:
work on incrementally harder problems
try variations on ones from work, class, homework, quizzes
Practice consistently (every day)
Get FEEDBACK on your practice
Or at least self-analyze “continuously observing results,
making appropriate adjustments”
Choose carefully what you practice
what skills do experts in your field have?

40. Big Question
Developing Expertise - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu40
Where does the motivation to
engage in deliberate practice
come from?
41. Thoughts about motivation…
Developing Expertise - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu41
Colvin:“People hate abandoning the notion that they could
coast to fame and riches if only they found their talent.” [2]
Gladwell: “Why are we so hostile to the notion that what
separates the genius from the rest of us is that the genius
loves that he or she does more than we do?” [9]
Gladwell: “Love is not the complete explanation: love is the
way in.” [9]
42. Developing Expertise - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu42
The discovery that students don't love the new teacher's content
area is one of those school of hard knock lessons. Graduate
education reinforces the centrality of discipline-based content
knowledge. Having immersed themselves in its study for years and
having been surrounded with colleagues equally enamored with the
area, new faculty arrive at those first teaching jobs no longer
objective about how the rest of the world views their content
domain.
