The Learning Scale Unconsciously Competent Consciously Competent Consciously Incompetent Unconsciously Incompetent

Unconsciously Incompetent – We do not know what we do not know. Consciously Incompetent – The first step in any learning process is to identify what we need to learn. Consciously Competent – We start by working on our weaknesses or learning a new skill, but find it awkward and difficult at first (e.g. learning to ride a bicycle) Unconsciously Competent– As we practice and use new learning in new situations it starts to become second nature to us (e.g. once we have learned to ride a bicycle we never forget how to do it)
