Transitions and Trajectories for Studies of Expertise

3700 McTavish Street, Faculty of Education, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A 1Y2; susanne. lajoie{at}mcgill.ca. Her research interests include the design and evaluation of theory-driven computer-based learning environments for classroom and real-world applications. She has developed systems in statistics, science, and medicine and is most interested in how students reason and learn from adaptive forms of instruction

The transition from student to expert professional can be accelerated when a trajectory for change is plotted and made visible to learners. Trajectories or paths toward expertise are domain specific and must first be documented and then used within instructional contexts to promote knowledge transitions. This article describes how models of expertise can serve to help students attain higher levels of competence.
