Did you know that every individual goes through different stages of learning and competence every day?
Depending on our priority and interest, we can choose to either learn something new or ignore it completely.
According to the renowned psychologist Noel Burch, our learning and growth mindset is related to our Competence.
Competence is defined as _the ability to do something successfully or efficiently_.
In the first stage of learning called “Unconscious Incompetence”, we don't know about a topic because it's never been shared with us.
In the second stage ”Conscious Incompetence”, we know that we don’t know about a topic. This is the stage where we can choose to learn more become curious or ignore the learning curve. If we choose to learn more, we make an effort to get more information, get new skills and new experiences. E.g. Remember when you started learning to ride a bike or a car for the first time?
The third stage is “Conscious Competence “, where we practice what we learn from stage two. In this stage, we tend to make mistakes but keep learning. We focus on mastery and pursue Excellence. E.g. Do you remember how many mistakes you made while learning to ride a bike or car?
We reach the last stage of “Unconscious Competence”, when we have mastered the knowledge and skills with practice. E.g. Riding a bike or a car. We don't have to make an effort to do something. It becomes automatic and part of our behaviour.
Did you know that most of us spend our lives in stages 2 and 3 but never reach stage 4 because of a lack of discipline and focus?
What can you do:
- Practice Gratitude. Be thankful for your learning experiences.
- Be grateful for opportunities presented to you
- Identify which stage you are in and how you can move forward
- Practice being curious and persistent in your learning.
We all have the ability to learn more. It’s our priorities and interests that matter.
