Adaptive Expertise
Adaptive expertise (/əˈdæptɪv ˈɛkspɜːrtiːz/), from the Latin adaptare meaning "fit" and the Greek expertise meaning "knowledge", is a concept in the field of educational psychology that refers to the ability to apply knowledge and skills flexibly and innovatively in different contexts.
Definition
Adaptive expertise is characterized by the ability to effectively apply and adapt one's skills and knowledge to new, unfamiliar, and complex situations. This is in contrast to routine expertise, which involves the efficient execution of standard procedures in familiar situations.
Development
The development of adaptive expertise involves the acquisition of a deep understanding of the underlying principles in a domain, as well as the ability to think flexibly and creatively. This often involves problem solving, critical thinking, and metacognition.
Application
Adaptive expertise is particularly important in fields such as medicine, where professionals must constantly adapt to new information and technologies, and apply their knowledge in diverse and often unpredictable situations. It is also relevant in education, where teachers must adapt their teaching strategies to meet the diverse needs of their students.
