"Sailing in Calm Waters Doesn't Teach": Constructing Expertise through Problems in Work--The Case of Finnish Human Resource Developers.

Valkeavaara, Tuija

Studies in Continuing Education, v21 n2 p177-96 Nov 1999

Stories of 20 experienced Finnish human resource developers illustrate how expertise is constructed through the experience of problem-solving situations. Communication, interaction, collaboration, and management involvement are sources of problem situations. Expertise is a flexible and inclusive state of mind, not the application of routine procedures. (Contains 57 references.) (SK)
