CAREER SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A career specific development system develops a mindset (24) in a group of learners wherein the learners have a common career and the mindset (24) is specific to the common career (16). The career specific mindset must first be identified (12). In particular, the set of knowledge (18), values (20) and beliefs (22) possessed by experts in the career must be determined. The learners are then placed in a learning environment to develop the mindset (24). The learning environment particularly involves exposing the learners to an ambiguous problem situation requiring a risk-associated response from the learners. The ambiguity and risk create a level of uncertainty in the learners sufficient to motivate them to develop the mindset (24). Intervention in the learners' exposure to the situation is then utilized to reinforce the learners' development or to modify the level of uncertainty until the desired motivational level and mindset (24) are achieved.
