Replying to LO19547 --
From a very old discussion here... Who is was the original creator of
the four-stage model:
unconscious-incompetent
conscious-incompetent
conscious-competent
unconscious-competent
We had a lot of talk about this in October 1998... See the starting message at
http://www.learning-org.com/98.10/0076.html
..and the replies are linked from there.
I now have this message from Linda Adams, president of Gordon
Training International...
Perhaps our mystery is solved!

>Dear Rick:

>We were recently asked by an author who is finishing up a book to confirm
>whether or not Dr. Thomas Gordon, our founder, was the originator of The
>Learning Stages. i.e., unconsciously unskilled, consciously unskilled,
>consciously skilled, unconsiously skilled.
>
>The model was developed by one of our employees and course developers in the
>1970's and first appeared in our Teacher Effectiveness Training Instructor
>Guide in the early 70's. It has been a part of all of our programs since
>that time. We have never added a fifth stage.

>For what it's worth.
