History of Theory

History of Theory

  • Benner began an situational project - Achieving Methods of Intra-professional Consensus, Assessment & Evaluation (AMICAE)
  • Interpretive and descriptive study demonstrated that knowledge can be developed in nursing practice
  • Study led to the adaptation of Dreyfus' Model of Skill Acquisition - advancement in skilled performance, based upon experience, education, knowledge development and career progression

(Altmann, 2007)

Dreyfus Model

Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition

Each level reflects changes of skilled performance:

  • Transition from reliance on abstract principles to the use of experiences
  • Transition from viewing a situation as multiple fragments to viewing a more holistic picture
  • Transition from observer to performer

(Altmann, 2007)

While acquiring and developing skills individuals will pass through five levels of proficiency

  • Novice
  • Advanced beginner
  • Competent
  • Proficient
  • Expert

(Ozdemir, 2019)
