Examining Expertise Differences in Retail Sales: A Script-based Analysis of Customer Interactions
Understanding how salespeople structure and reason through customer conversations is central to explaining expertise in sales, yet research is lacking about their cognitive representations. This study investigates how salespeople at different levels of expertise conceptualise a typical sales interaction and how their underlying cognitive structures vary across expertise levels ( N = 33). Using a script-elicitation method, we analyse how novices, …
Conductors’ views on individual practice activities
This study explored how professional conductors understand the role of individual (purposeful) practice and how they describe the contents of such practice. Twelve professional conductors were interviewed and content analysis was used to analyze the data. The results show that the participants understood conducting as a lifelong learning process. Through intensive individual practice, they had built up a significant repertoire of musical works. B…
Mathematics teachers’ professional influence within teacher communities: The role of work experience and pedagogical content knowledge
This study investigated if mathematics teachers’ professional experience or pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) could predict how often colleagues seek their colleagues for advice. Ninety-three Lithuanian secondary school mathematics teachers participated. The analysis found that only professional experience, not PCK, predicted how often a teacher was consulted. Seniority primarily influenced whether teachers were sought out for advice on pedagog…
Mountain rescuers’ experiences with video-assisted and verbal debriefings: A Qualitative Study
The reflection on previous performance during debriefing plays an important role in learning from simulations. While debriefings are traditionally held as verbal debriefings (VD), advancements in video and software technology led to an increased use of video-assisted debriefings (VAD). Although VAD is nowadays considered to be the gold standard, prior research has found mixed results concerning the experiences connected to this form of debriefing…
Collective and individual practices in popular music: Differences between semi-professionals and professionals in Austria and Germany
Collective and individual practices are essential for popular music bands and their members when preparing for public performances. This study addresses the interplay of collective and individual practices in a sample of 82 members of semi-professional and professional popular music bands in Austria and Germany. Utilizing a structured questionnaire, practices were assessed within collective and individual practice contexts, and attributes and exp…
Does genre make a difference? Classical orchestra/popular band musicians’ motivation, self-efficacy, and practice experiences’ effects on deliberate practice
This study investigates the motivational conditions, self-efficacy beliefs, and practice of classical (symphonic, wind) orchestra/popular (rock, pop) band musicians. It thus complements previous research which has shed light on individual aspects of music learning. In both individual and collective work, high quality practice performed in a sufficient amount of time was shown to be very effortful. A mixed-method approach combined a questionnaire …
Exploring change in networks supporting the deliberate practice of popular musicians
Popular musicians are embedded in dynamic networks supporting their expertise development across different phases. During these phases, network actors support different aspects of deliberate practice in which a musician needs to engage to become an expert. Research in the domain of music is scarce in terms of investigating the change in the supportive networks of deliberate practice over time. Semi-structured interviews with five expert and five …
Quality of network support for the deliberate practice of popular musicians
To become an expert in music, an individual goes through different phases of deliberately practising domain-specific activities with the support of actors within his or her network. These network actors are often referred to in the research literature as “persons in the shadow,” because they are for the most part unnoticeable to an audience. Systematic research on popular music does not touch upon who these persons in the shadow are and how they …
Evaluation of mountain rescuers’ (non-)technical skills during simulated resuscitation
Handling of incongruences in music notation during singing or playing
During music reading, performers create expectations of the upcoming music. When these expectations are violated due to changes in the notation, performers have to adjust their reading and adapt their motor responses to match this new information. In this study, we examine how selected background, outcome, and process measures reflect the successful handling of incongruences during music reading. Twenty-four performers were tasked with singing or…
Teacher Expertise and Professional Vision: Examining Knowledge-Based Reasoning of Pre-Service Teachers, In-Service Teachers, and School Principals
Classroom professional vision is a teaching skill that refers to the ability of teachers to rapidly notice information in class and engage in knowledge-based reasoning about the noticed information. Knowledge-based reasoning includes three interrelated processes: description, explanation, and prediction. The present study aimed to examine how pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, and school principals differed in these three reasoning proces…

Peers, parents and teachers: A case study on how popular music guitarists perceive support for expertise development from “persons in the shadows”
“Persons in the shadows” may substantially affect how an individual acquires expertise, through, for example, guiding deliberate practice. In the domain of popular music, such persons in the shadows might be peers, parents and teachers. Little research exists on how individuals perceive the impact of persons in the shadows on expertise development, particularly in fields like popular music. This study investigates the perceived impact exerted by …

How important is intuition for teaching expertise in the field of adult education
This contribution focuses on the role of intuition for teaching expertise in the field of adult education. Theories of expertise convincingly explain the capability to solve known problems but have less explanatory power for the capability of coping with new situations as they often occur in the field of adult education. Intuition can be seen as the crucial component of teaching expertise which enables people to master unknown problems. This arti…
Workplace changes and workplace learning: Advantages of an educational micro perspective
This paper analyses two perspectives, a macro and a micro perspective, on changes in the workplace in relation to workplace learning. It critically evaluates what kind of phenomena both perspectives can account for. Research from a macro perspective focuses on changes in economy or on organisational change. It helps to explore the role of lifelong learning and workplace learning in society as well as to define required competences in different pr…

Die kompetente Lehrperson als Multiplikator von Innovation
Es hat in der Geschichte der Erziehungswissenschaften nie an theoretisch fundierten Vorschlägen zu Innovationen im Unterricht gefehlt. Deren Implementierbarkeit sind jedoch häufig enge Grenzen gesetzt. Neuere Vorschläge zielen daher auf die Analyse bereits erfolgreich implementierter Modelle ab. Eine Forschungsrichtung, die hierzu besonders interessante Beiträge leistet, ist die Expertiseforschung, die sich mit der Deskription, aber auch der Förd…
Expertiseforschung: Theoretische und Methodische Grundlagen
The aim of this report is to describe an alternative technique to record the neutral zone. An acrylic resin base with posterior occlusal rims was applied using a thermoplastic denture adhesive. After being worn for 2 days, the base was transferred into an acrylic resin complete denture. Most patients reported an improvement in denture stability and a reduction of pressure sores. This procedure seems to be helpful to improve denture function, espe…
