@writingslowly it's also possible the domain is ill-structured, making deliberate practice less useful.

@writingslowly I really enjoyed this and agree completely. I teach music (in classes and one-on-one) and I’m constantly talking about practice techniques and approaches. In my freshman music theory class I spend a whole day on how we learn and another on how to practice. Every year students tell me it’s the first time they have heard either topic discussed in a course.

Very interesting – have you encountered a view that ‘how to learn’ should only be taught implicitly? I feel there are plenty of people who could benefit from explicit teaching on this.

@writingslowly I haven’t, I suspect it’s something teachers assume others are teaching or students already know. They generally use terrible study techniques though, it’s a huge benefit for them to learn better ones.
