The [[conscious]] '''competence''' [[theory]] is another name for the "Four Stages of Learning," a theory posited by 1940's psychologist [[Abraham Maslow]. The Four Stages of Learning describe how a [[person]] learns, progressing from 1. Unconscious Incompetence (you don't know that you don't know something), to 2. Conscious Incompetence (you are now aware that you are incompetent at something), to 3. Conscious Competence (you [[develop]] a [[skill]] in that area but have to [[think]] about it), to the final stage 4. Unconscious Competence (you are [[good]] at it and it now comes [[naturally]]).

*1. '''Unconscious Incompetence'''

<blockquote>As a fifth level, I like what I call 'reflective competence'. As a teacher, I thought "If unconscious competence is the top level, then how on earth can I teach things I'm unconsciously competent at?" I didn't want to regress to conscious competence - and I'm not sure if I could even I wanted to! So, reflective competence - a step beyond unconscious competence. Conscious of my own unconscious competence, yes, as you suggest. But additionally looking at my unconscious competence from the outside, digging to find and understand the theories and models and beliefs that clearly, based on looking at what I do, now inform what I do and how I do it. These won't be the exact same theories and models and beliefs that I learned consciously and then became unconscious of. They'll include new ones, the ones that comprise my particular expertise. And when I've surfaced them, I can talk about them and test them. Nonaka is good on this—Nonaka, I. (1994). "A Dynamic Theory of Organizational Knowledge Creation." Organization Science 5: 14-37.
