I admittedly didn't read the whole article, but I wonder how the different ways of "practicing" are accounted for. For instance, as a musician, it is equally important to LISTEN to music as it is to practice. While the time ratio may not be 1:1 it certainly counts somewhere. Could be an analogy to your students -- how can they design the best website without visiting some that are considered well done and analyzing what makes them good. Just brainstorming!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428011965171090537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16768201.post-30237251915742791412011-12-09T17:40:07.098-06:002011-12-09T17:40:07.098-06:00Yes, the 100 hours is pretty arbitrary, though the...Yes, the 100 hours is pretty arbitrary, though there could be a research project in there somewhere. Yes, some students get practice outside the class, but from my informal questioning at the beginning of the semester, 90% of them had 0 hours of experience developing web sites.<br /><br />Ericson's original research (where the 10000 number came from) was done on chessmasters, world class athletes and musicians. You can do a bit of searching around the Internet to learn more about the 10000 plateau. It's an interesting debate between talent and practice, where while talent may have some role, deliberate practice often makes the biggest impact on future success in any field.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03560477246248417263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16768201.post-43105479704927156862011-12-09T16:33:56.528-06:002011-12-09T16:33:56.528-06:00That's interesting stuff. Why 100? Was it just...That's interesting stuff. Why 100? Was it just arbitrary or logorhythmically based (you like my musical spelling over the correct spelling? :))? Don't forget, though, that some students are going to get practice outside of both classroom AND homework environments. One size may not fit all.<br /><br />But I definitely think the 100, 1000, 10000 levels are interesting to explore further. I hope the fact that it's in HBR doesn't cause others to feel it only applies to business type environments. I can relate to it musically as well as academically. Neat stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428011965171090537noreply@blogger.com
