Hi there,
I placed the query about the origin of the matrix on to the Action
Research list. It has sparked a similar discussion to LO; spinning off
into an interesting discussion about tacit and non-tacit experience.
Confusion about the origins remains; lots of head scratchings and
wonderings - here are two of the more definite suggestions :-
Jack Whitehead said :-
In a paper on the problems of legitimating an action research Ph.D., my
colleague Paul Denley writes about his learning in terms of a movement
from Unconscious Incompetence, Conscious Incompetence, Unconscious
Competence and Conscious Competence. Paul's reference to this model is:
Dubin, P (1962) 'Human Relations in Administration', Englewood Cliffs, NJ,
Prentice-Hall
... and Susan Gair suggested :-
I have been interested for a long time to know the source of this adult
learning model (unconscious incompetence etc). I have a document which
discussess it, and then cites Howell 1977, p38-40, however I have not been
able to find this reference with only this information. I hope someone may
be able to add more information to this reference.
So now you know
Bob
