Benner´s Theory

 

Benner´s Theory.

 Benner's theory is the Beginner to Expert theory developed by Patricia Benner for nursing work in the 1980s.  In it, Benner divides competence into 5 levels. A new level, Mastery, has been added later, but it is not here because it is not part of the original theory. The theory has been used in several studies in the health sector to describe the levels of professional competence and the learning needs that arise at each level.

1. Novice

2. Advanced Beginner

3. Competent

4. Proficient

5. Expert

Here is a mind map made of Benner's theory.
